Ventured off the island today to an old town near Plymouth, to a place that I have hunted previously- looks like the front yards of several people's homes, but it's actually a public green. In the past, I've found a couple of Seated quarters and several other oldies there, so I thought I would try it again after last night's decent rain.
First good signal was hitting high right on the SE Pro, but jumping back and forth and not extremely deep. Dug the plug not expecting much and flipped out some dirt- the beauty in the first pic was sitting there. I believe you can make out the date on the second pic in the hole. Next good signal was an Indian that just looked like an early date- turned out to be an 1872. A little later I added a 2 Indian in the same hole mini-spill (1890 & 1896) and then of course as I was heading back to the car, as we all have done so many times, I got a signal that sang of silver, about 6-7 inches down.
I actually recorded the dig but for some reason, I couldn't upload it to Youtube tonight. It turned out to be a pretty well worn 1884-S Seated dime- only a little over 500K minted
The pics are of the LC in the hole and later I added a little olive oil to it just to see the date claerly. It looks as though I will lose the date and more if I clean it, so that baby will probably stay as is. I also had to wet the 1872 Indian to make out the date, but I think you can see it in the pic.
Turned out to be a very successful day. Enjoy the pics and HH all!
