Windy day+Determination=Seated dime

[Johnny Ringo Silver]

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.

Congratulations on your seated dime and those Indian cents.

WTG, Johnny. I didn't realize until seeing corn kernels on the Reverse that the design was carried over onto the Barber dimes.
I guess if I'd ever found a Seated (or seen one with the kernels still clear) I'd've known.

A little cup of will keep you in the hunt longer! WTG on the seated dime John. From the coins you have been pulling out of there it sounds like you have a honey of a spot to hunt!

This site has been producing on and off for the last 2 years now. My oldest coin came from this site, being an 1810 capped bust half.

Ya, the seated coins are a nice design. As far as the scratches and such on the coins that come from this site, its because this land used to be farmed for some time and i have only found a few coins here that havent been nicked or scraped. This dime was pulled out in an 8in plug
that i dug and never came near to the shovel. Even though i didnt hit it, there a semi shiny nick in the face. Just one of those things that i cant explain.

 

[funkman]

that is a fantastic coin!!! Can;t wait to get my first seated anything!

Congrats
