Odd pocket spill nets me my 1st ever Seated coin!

[treasurefiend]

Went out to the woods for a few hours the last 2 days and found a bunch of relics and old coins. I started off finding my 1st multi IH spill (2 in 1 hole), then a V and so on. Well eventually I got a bouncy signal that went from coin to iron and back to coin. I get tons of these signals and I always dig them. Well at about 4-5" I dug a cool stack of coins. I could tell that the biggest coin was a Barber quarter and it had a nickle in the middle and a dime on the top. Well It turned out to be a 1898 q - 1899 V - 1885 seated dime all in an old coin stack!!! Finally after 3 years of hunting I finally got my seated coin!!!! I also found 2 pins in the same area, 1 is an eagle and the other is of Uncle Sam, enjoy. I'm still pumped about gettin that monkey off my back!!!

In the video I make a fool outta myself when I realize its my very 1st seated, be sure to watch!

Thats one great looking Barber. That had to have been a drop when it was almost new. Those are the ones to find. Those areas are really paying off.

Congratulations on your Seated dime! Great find. The Barber quarter is a beauty too. You may want to take them to a coin dealer to see what they suggest to get the green stuff off. I would do MINIMAL cleaning - just something that could take the green off and not the toning. I don't clean my silver coins (only mild soap and water to get the dirt off). I know dealers use acetone to clean off the greenish gunk that are on coins that are in the soft plastic holders for a long time but you may want to check with a coin dealer or someone experienced in this sort of thing before trying it. I like those two pins too - they are really neat. Way to go and thanks for the fun video. HH
