I stopped in at an old favorite hunting spot of mine yesterday to see if the weeds were to tall to hunt. I was very pleased to se that it had been mowed and was just begging to be hunted. I decided to hunt for about an hour and it payed off with 2 old indians. Toaday was windy and cooler than yesterday, but i just had to give it another shot. After digging plenty of old shotgun shell brass and pistol casings, i finally got a good signal. Digging a 5in plug, i pulled up another indian. I continued on hunting while thinking to myself, "Is there any more silver in this field?" It wasnt very long after that when i got a sweet signal at about 4in or so. When i broke open the plug, it was good to see silver!!
Easily cleaning it off, i could see that it was an 1887 seated dime. Man i love digging seated coins!!! The three indians were 1882, 1890, and 1892.

Sweet stuff, I think you got the wind we had in Denver, man, was it windy! Good going.
 
What those types of finds I wish I was "an old Kansas man myself."
 
Thanks for the kind words! I'm still reliving the moment of seeing the seated!! I was kinda expecting a barber because of the depth.
 
Nice going, Johhny, on your finds, especially the seated!! :thumbsup:
