To think people say it is impossible to dig out such quality specimens. The "impossible" is obviously real and can be done. You and I both are witnesses to that.

We would like to hear the details about the recovery. There isn't even any scratches from frost movement!

Wow, that is some nice seated dime, congratulations! The first seated quarter that I ever found (1855 <-> at date) was like that! Sent if off and had it graded ( Au58 ) and slabbed! I would definitely have that one graded/slabbed!
This is one of the reasons why I cringe every time I see these guys on video rubbing their coin finds to remove the dirt/see what they are when they retrieve them. You just never know what kind/grade the coin is, and rubbing a coin (even a little) can reduce the grade several points and sometimes hundreds/thousands of $$$ by putting microscopic grit scratches on it or even destroy a prized/rare collectible coin. I have a friend who did this with a rare 1916 SL Quarter that must have been dropped within a few days after going into circulation. For this reason I carry a small squirt bottle of water with me and if I just can't wait to get home and carefully remove the dirt I use the squirt bottle in the field. I also carefully wrap my coins in soft tissue paper to prevent damage.
Congratulations again on a great find!
