Today I had another opportunity for an afternoon hunt, so I grabbed it. :yes: I had not expected anything like yesterday's hunt (http://www.americandetectorist.com/forum/showthread.php?8693-Seated-Dimes-And-Coppers), but as it turns out it ended up being another exciting one. :yes:
I managed to dig up several more silver coins, seven in total. The Barber and mercury dimes alone would have made my day, but the added bonus of a Capped Bust dime and a Seated quarter made the hunt even sweeter.

The 1831 Capped Bust dime is worn, but a sweet find anyway. There were 771,350 minted.

When I first caught a glimpse of the eagle my heart skipped a beat. lol

Among the finds is another large cent, a corroded Indian Head cent, and several wheat cents.

Wow... you are in a zone at that park. :clapping:
The early age of the coins you find at parks just blows my mind. :shocked04:
Care to give a ballpark age of the park you are currently hunting? :->
Someday I've just got to see you in action. :yes: It would be quite the learning experience.
Can't wait to see what your next trip produces. Congrats on some real nice keepers here Angel.

It is a good feeling to see some of the older coins pop out of the ground. :yes: But it's easy to get spoiled. lol
I'm not really sure about the park's age. :confused: But given the type of coins found there, a rough guess would be early to mid 1800's? :thinkingabout: Of course, that likely was your guess as well. lol

Yeah, I can see how one could get spoiled with your last two hunts. :smitten: I hope your good fortune continues.
That was my guess as well. It's crazy to think that a park user had a half reale in their pocket to fall out
and wait for you to find a few years later. :shocked04: :peace:
I am just simply amazed! Awesome finds. Congrats and WTG! :peace:
