Dirtfishing in Connecticut - April 15, 2011 - Seated Half Dime and more!

[FooserPaul]

Hello all!

I headed to a foundation that dates to the late 1700s... I was here 2 weeks and recovered an baby head KG II... Today was nice... mid 50s, sunny with a slight breeze...

1st keeper recovered was a musket ball... not to deep... it was 12/28 till I dug the plug then it read 12/31...

I worked the field a little then decided to work along the old road... and I'm glad I did... This was a choppy signal, but enough to peak my interest...

1853 w/Arrows Seated Liberty Half Dime (Holed)... These suckers are small and thin... No wonder why they are so elusive...

Next recovery was right next to a tree and under a root... I am used to finding the reeds... not the rest A clover harmonica...

This 1903 Indian is amazing! It was in lose dirt just 3 inches down... My 1th Indian Head for the year...

Totals:

HH ALL!

Very Cool Paul! The seated 1/2 dime is AWESOME. I struggle with the "holed" coins. I know it can ruin the value of a coin but it sure adds a lot of mystique to the coin and gives room to lots of pondering. I would say it could even "Add" value from a personal perspective. Anyway, thanks for sharing another of your hunts.

very nice relics and coins. you know, about that holed coin. i think its cool. i have found a couple holed coins. used to tie them to SOMETHING. i wonder if they used to tie them on a looped string, wouldnt it be cool to find the WHOLE string of coins, if anyone was unlucky enough to lose an entire loop of coins. im sure someone probably has. find about 15 seateds, busts and spanish silver all in one hole. that would be a dream-come-true find. and if im dreamin then heck make it 25 coins in one hole.
