Detector(s) used
Garrett GTAX 550 w/ 4" coil and Garrett Ace 250
I was on my way home from a good MD hunt at the park in an adjacent town when I thought to my self..... Self you have atleast 15 minutes till you have to be home. I only found 2.85 in clad and I was itchin for silver. I have only had this machine for a few days now and I am falling in love with it. I went to a place in my town that I have hit before with no such luck. It had an old house that used to be there and now the owner has removed the top 4" of dirt to build a new house there. Within 2 min I found this beauty at the edge of the dirt pile where he had scraped. Then it got almost too dark to hunt and I had to get home anyways. I will try again tommarrow for more. This is one of 2 to scratch off my list. A Carson City Coin and a Seated Liberty Type all in one coin!! YAH!! Nothing like old Wilver!!! Thanks!! Tom

You Bashturd! Ive been looking for a seated anything for two months and you find one on the way home from icecream in only 12.75 seconds :'(. GOOD JOB, GOOD STUFF 8)
 
Nice one tdec1000! Garrett scores again! I've been hunting for a few years now and still haven't found a seated or a CC mint coin.

Tell your friends that detecting has hit it big with the generation Xers...like me. It's not just the older guys with black socks up to their kneecaps anymore. It's a sport all age groups are jumping into in varying degrees of passion. HELLO, My name is Cheese, I'm 34, and I have a detecting habit.
 
Cheese, I too have the habit!! MDA Metal Detectorists Annonymous!! :D
 
VERY VERY NICE!!!! I can't wait to hear how you do tomorrow there! GOOD LUCK!!!
 
Ab-so-lut-ly Fan-tastic.

Great dig. I crossed the same two goals off my list earlier this year with the same coin. Interestingly enough I found mine in upstate NY....kind of a weird place to find a CC dime. Here is a link to the post I made when I found it. It was right on the surface in a plowed farm field.

Yours is nicer than mine though!! Great find!!! ;D
 
Well I went back out there and I only found an old watch in bad bad shape probably from the 70's. I think that all the good coins will be at the bottom of the scraped piles of dirt because they scraped a good 4-6 inches off the top to level out the ground for a new house build. I bet I could sift through the remaining dirt to find the better stuff.
 
Excellent find TDec,still waiting for my CC but I don't think many are found in my neck of the woods.I'm 41, no black socks and still the one knee digging stance.Glad to see the younger generation getting into it!I'm sure if you keep at it there will be many other great things come your way!!! Congrats, Bootstrap
PS Gotta love those last minute afterthought hunts
that produce,glad you stopped!
