Went out today with same buddy as my Lincoln's Birthday Hunt. We hit the same ball park, a 1880's church and my early 1800's ghost town. This is the same ghost town I found a 1831 Large Cent. While detecting the ball park I found a Rosie Dime and several wheaties. My buddy found his first silver and he was so happy jumping around. I was so happy for him because he has found several wheats since he bought his Explorer, but no silver till today. At the church I found another Rosie Dime and a couple more wheats. Buddy found a Shield Nickel. I told him that he is learning his machine if he starts finding nickels. Well later in the day I decided to hit my ghost town since it has dried up a little. Was there for about 30 minutes and I was hunting the same area as I found the Large Cent. I suddenly got a nice silver sound and my face lit up because I knew it was going to be good. I cut the plug out and set it on it's side a checked it. I got no sound so I went back to the hole. I got no sound there either. I was shocked so I turned on pinpoint mode and then I picked it up. I looked to the side of the hole and there it was just shining at me. It was a 1839 O Seated Liberty Dime. I was jumping up and down. I ran over to my buddy to show him and he could not believe it's condition. Well here are my finds and thanks for looking.

Thanks Old River
 

Great seated dime. :thumbsup:
 

Wow!

Out here in Oregon, seated coins are extremely rare to find in the ground. I'm jealous! I have the goal of finding one sometime in my life.

My compliments and congratulations!

Wow, that baby must got dropped when she was new. Awesome looking coin!

Thanks Bartman
 

WOW!! That is one spectacular Seated :thumbsup:

It's amazing how an "oldie" like that can turn up when you least
expect it. . . I guess that's what keeps us all going :wink:

Super hunt!

Thanks watercolor. I knew when I got the target signal of silver, it was going to be a good one. This town died in 1845.
 

I'm sure you'll smile for days! and your non-MD friends won't get the joy :-)
 

A :thumbsup:wesome coins
 

Unreal seated, i would have been jumping up and down too. ;D It is amazing how well silver holds up. Congrats on a great find. GL and HH
