Worn out paper thin old lady from 11" deep

[silverfreak]

I was able to get out one last time this year, to one of my faithful fields I have hunted for nearly 40 years.
It was pitch black DARK, and I brought a flashlight, but left it in the car!...so I apologize for the pics.
I had no clue this was silver, and in fact thought it was an indian head, when it came out of the ground.
Even after I started rubbing on it...it was tough to tell it was silver. This is the field where the silver comes out DARK as coal...and I love it!
I was trying to use the flashlight feature on my cel phone to see what the heck was going on...what I had...how deep...etc.
I knew it was deep before I started digging, because of the faint chirp from the explorer...but it was repeatable in one direction...so I gave it a shot.
After getting the hole dug, I was able to get a very accurate measurement from the marks I have made on my Predator Raptor Digger handle, and it was a precise 11" deep.
It is so worn and thin on the front, that it took nearly 30 minutes before I was able to make out the 1887 date.
Thanks for looking.

LOL, still in better shape than the three seated dimes I've found! So nice when a silver coin comes out of the ground, regardless of condition. Well done.

Congrats on the seated dime and at 11in. Nice to see the so called older detectors still pulling out nice old silver. I have a cz-3d I have been using since 2007 and still manage to find some nice older silver with it. Location,Location, Location.

Nice,

She's thin but she counts.

I love finding seated coins. They are hard to come by though.

Great find to find seated is always a thrill! It's amazing how worn it is but you still got a clear date on it! Wow 11 inches is a deep one!

Thanks, Mike. I have a super hot CZ70Pro, that is the DEEPEST detector I have ever used...hands down, but I can't use it in iron infested areas. Since you have the 3D, you know what I'm talking about.

Nice save of the lady!

Thanks

Thanks, Jeremy. They are getting few and far between...unless their deep or covered in iron.

Absolutely agree 100% I am considering chest mounting mine as well. I still love using it...heavy or not.

Amazing find regardless of condition. Crazy to think you are still pulling things out of a site you've been hitting for 40 years. That is great. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas Silver Freak!
