I don't post much but when you dig an 1838 Seated dime in Oklahoma, it is time to brag a little. LOL She is wearing a little thin but she is also 174 years old. You have to wonder who lost her and WHEN. She was only about 4 inches deep but fully on edge. I spent a couple of minutes just going in circles listening to her asking me to dig her up. I was using my 10 x 12 SEF on the Explorer on some well grazed grass. It don't get much better than this.

That is simply INCREDIBLE! A most AWESOME dig for Oklahoma, Joe! Congrats on another outSTANDING coin!

Very very nice!!!

Great old silver, A real trophy. I'm all ways wondering about the history of old coins when I dig them, Who -When - Where - and How they got there, it's part of the game,and I love going to that place.
Great coin Joe

I am totally in agreement with you, chip. My thoughts when I saw Joe's coin were -- MAN, it's at least within the realm of "possible" that the person who dropped that coin was born prior to the Boston Tea Party, the Revolution, the First Continental Congress... It is even MORE possible that the person was alive during Washington's presidency; this coin was minted 41 years after Washington's last days in office, so -- with it possible that this coin was dropped within 15 or so years of mintage, and possibly by a person of "middle age," this is actually semi-feasible!

Wow...

http://www.findmall.com/read.php?19,1055627,1055627#msg-1055627

Been swingin' the coil since 1972
Started out in 1972 with a Jetco Detector...then the late 70's with a Whites 6000....then in 1981 went to a Bounty Hunter VLF TR 840...then in the early 1980's I went to a Whites 6000 Di Pro...mid 80's I went to a Whites Eagle II SL...Late 80's/Early 90's I went to the Whites XLT...1990's I used the Fisher CZ5, CZ6, CZ7, 7aPro, and CZ70Pro...Started using Minelabs in 1999
with a brief stint on the Musketeer while also using the CZ's...then in 2002 I switched to the Minelab Explorers and currently use an Explorer 2, SE, SEPro, and E-trac with an arsenal of coils

Here's the story of my BEST FIND EVER.:

Super find! Can't get much older for a seated.

Congratulations on the super old seated.

Awesome coin Joe (Congrats)

Congratulations on finding that 1838 Seated Liberty dime!!
She might be old and thin, but she's a keeper for sure. I also
circled my (1873) Seated dime for quite a while when I found
her..... knowing it was deep silver and wanting to be VERY
sure it was pin pointed acurately. Well done Joe!
