A couple weeks ago I pulled out my very first Seated Liberty coin at a construction site where a new High School is being built. A sweet 1876 dime. My research showed that the site was once owned and farmed by a Presbyterian minister back in 1868. So today, because the temperature had finally dropped and the ground was saturated from Irene, I returned today and I'll be d@mned if I didn't find another! A one year older 1877 Seated Dime! To date I've found only one Barber dime and now I've found 2 Seated dimes. Go figure. This site has already produced 2 Rosies, 2 Mercs, an XF Barber quarter, the previously found Seated dime, and now the second Seated dime. Anyhow, I'm as happy as a little girl and plan to return there again soon and be all over this site LIKE THE DEVIL AT A CHURCH REVIVAL!

Great looking coin - keep going back if possible !
thats the thing....its so hard to hit every target.....try going back over the whole thing at a 90 degree angle to what youve done....guaranteed theres almost certainly another seated there....a spot like that has earned your respect and thus digging a lot of the iffier targets. anything solid and "sweet", if dug, could turn up something really nice for you!
thats weird that youve found two seateds and only one barber....but all i can say is congratulations.
last week for example in a place thats been very good to me and ive pounded the heck out of one particular area around a bunch of old maples, i found a silver quarter in a really junky spot at this area and this thing was only 2 or 3 inches deep. and i know i was over this exact area before....
i guess using a metal detector is kind of like painting a house with a spray can. you'll never get 100% coverage the first time.

I'd like to comment on hunted out spots, even after 90 degree sweep. I have a old farmhouse with an acre front yard that I have hunted 6 times. I have managed to get 6 Barber dimes, Barber half, large cent and a couple of Mercs. The latest hunt was this morning and I found 1 Barber. I do feel I have pulled most goodies out, as I have covered previous swept areas and no new finds. Seems like when i hit a goodie, it's an area that wasn't swept well or at all. Matter of fact, I even felt discouraged this morning after the hunt, with only finding one Barber dime. On to finding a new hunting location. HH, mIke
