Dime trifecta with first seated liberty.

[kschae4]

Hey fellow Safarians...Finally found my 1st seated liberty dime-1877, while hunting the below-boardwalk fill-dirt landslide, in my town from the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. In addition,got a no date mercury and a '64 rosey. Stats:coin/jewelry,auto sensitivity,high density. Tid was bouncing between 38-39 on the dimes. Also had about a dozen wheaties from 1920-1957. Assortment of relics include skeleton key,a field and track or hoops trophy, several regular keys, two medals, both with Fleur DI Ly's in the coat of arms (interesting),antique yale lock,silver-plated spoons,fork,fishing lead,washers, and a few "whatzits', too. No clad coins posted ,and there were over 80 of 'em (two hunts over this weekend). Eye-balled a Thomas Mullholland bottle from Freehold NJ,and a clear perfume bottle making this a great relic weekend. Thanks for viewing.

Thanks,Prep. Hope you get a chance to hunt this weekend. Temps expected to be around freezing tomorrow, but will dress warmly, hoping to hit some eroded beach areas with rustydigger.

Ken, I thought I had congratulated you on these finds but I had not so.....congratulations!!!! You have some awesome items there! I'm more of a beach hunter than a relic hunter but I do love old stuff and antiques in general!
I was an antique dealer in England running 4 antique stores in the early 70's so I do have an appreciation for antiques and collectibles. Sometimes I wished that I had lived in those Eastern States, I definately would be detecting for those Civil War targets and early American items!! G.L. & H.H.

Thank You, GS. It was a really fun and memorable hunt. Were you into metal detecting as an antiques dealer years ago ? It's nice that you'll be able to get home and hunt those historic fields with your brother,soon. Maybe, you'll discover the next great horde, I'm pulling for you.
