1849/1848 Seated Half Dime - 23 Silver Dimes

[angellionel]

Yesterday I was able to detect for a while at an old park. From there I picked up three silver coins - a 1849/1848 Seated half dime, a merc and a Roosevelt dime. I also dug up five Indian Head cents, but they are corroded.

The Seated half dime is an overdate, 1849/1848.

Today afternoon I headed to detect at a small park I had recently spotted. I had a great time detecting there, picking up 23 silver coins - 7 Roosevelt dimes and 16 mercury dimes.

The site also yielded two large cents. I initially thought they were in better shape, but my eyes deceived me. 8/

An Old Dutch Cleanser watch fob. It still had a piece of the watch strap, but it must have dropped off when I took it out to take photos. :confused:

Just unbelivible! :omg: I don't know what to say except YAHOOOOOOOO! Congrtats!

Another incredible hunt, Angel! Wow, it must have been a ton of fun digging all those silvers! Had this park not been hunted very thoroughly before, or were the signals masked by trash?

That 1849/8 Seated Half Dime is a real beauty! It appears to be in wonderful condition! Very cool that it is the overdate variety too!

For us here in the midwest ANY copper looks great, because we rarely find them at all! I love the watch fob too. Nice that it still has the enamel on it.

Congrats on another fantastic hunt! :clapping:

[jkress]

Just an incredible couple of hunts Angel. :peace:

The 49/48 Seated half dime is an awesome find. :smitten: I definitely can appreciate it.

But my jaw drops to your 23 silver dime hunt. :shocked04: Can't even imagine how fun that would be.
With two LC's in the mix, I'll bet you were a little surprised Barber's and Seated's didn't find their
way under your coil.

Congratulations sir.

The lack of quarters or larger silver does suggest that the small park has been cherry-picked. It's actually more of a baseball field, with plenty of surface trash to deal with, though it wouldn't account for all the dimes being missed.

Yeah, I did hope for seated coins after picking up the coppers. However, the coppers were picked up at the fringes of the park. What may account for the coppers is that they were in an area that likely had been the original old open field, and the baseball field was added later, perhaps back in the 20's or 30's. The baseball field itself yielded nothing older than wheat cents.

Angel's at it again! If he keeps finding all this silver it will pull the price down. As always knowledge, practice and a little luck will pay off.

I have never recorded any of my hunts. ::huh:: I was always too focused on detecting. :blush: lol Besides, I very much doubt I would have dug the 23 silver dimes had I been recording the hunt. :thinkingabout: :)

[aussie okie]

True...

[ssserena]

Did you find all those silvers in all metal mode?Which state do you live in?Im guessing they were found in the iron patch!I talked to a member a couple weeks ago and FINALLY got some silver advice on find silver!Took long enough to get advice!I understand now that the secrets out there do not want to be shared and im starting to understand this!Thank you to the person that told me the iron patch secret you know who you are you made my decade with your advice!!!!!! :yes:

[JTGOLD]

AWSOME AWSOME AWSOME enough said..... |:cheering:

[bigjohn]

This a dream to find a park that has not been hunted out. 23 silver dimes is unbelivable in one day and one park. My E-trac salutes you. Thanks for giving us hope. BigJohn

[ChrisinCT]

What can be said that already hasn't? Simply awesome.

It does give me renewed faith that not all parks are picked out or close to it.
