I saw the glint of gold in the dirt and it WAS a ring but the VDI was a little high. After a wash I knew it was not solid gold but it WAS stamped 16K Filled which means 20% 16K by weight. It's a keeper but the highlight of the day was a Seated dime, 1889. Not that I haven't found my share of Seated coins but this dime completes my dime quest from the old school yard I have been hunting for 20 years. I have taken friends hunting there and they have found Seated dimes but no, not me........ until today.... I guess my next goal for the old school yard is a half dime.

You should have seen his smile when he came through that door. Not knowing or not if the coin was a Barber or a Seated, he was in awe when the water cleaned it so he could see the "Seated" lady. That Seated dime is a pretty one. Congrats on you completing your dime finds from there. HH, Nancy

When you say dime quest is it a Rosie, Merc, Barber, and Seated all from the same place??? I forgot to ask. My take for the day was 2 YIPPEE's a YIP and two dimes and 6 pennies all good ol' clad.

Yep and I included a clad dime too........ a Bust dime would be asking for too much, we rarely see those here in the Midwest but they have been found.

Awesome. Still waiting on my first seated dime.

Did your new detector finally sniff out silver? and with a seated no less, congrats.
