Denny Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Hunted an old patch of grass in Fresno california where I dug up many barbers, mercs, a few seated and a 5 gram gold nugget. Funny thing is I only dug up 2 rosies and a silver Washington quarter over the years from this area. Yesterday on Christmas Day I finally squeezed some time to hunt this old patch of grass. First 4 holes were aluminum targets then I moved over to where I had dug up a half dime 10 years ago. First target I get a 88-87 at 6-7 inches on the D2. In the plug I had a hard time finding the target. As I knocked more and more dirt off the bottom of the plug I finally heard the target it was near the surface of the plug. Moved a little dirt and I saw a round silver looking thing. Pulling it out I noticed it was definitely a silver coin. Hoping it was not a pesky rosie I brushed off some dirt and the reverse looked different from a barber flipped it over and brushed some dirt off and saw the bottom half of the obverse. It was a 1858 seated Dime in almost good condition. My 6th seated from this area 2 were half dimes. My next target I thought might be a silver turned out to be a modern gaming token. I was satisfied with the seated so I called it quits in about an hour. Hope everyone had a good Christmas Day. Denny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F350Platinum Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 That's a nice seated Denny, worn and fertilizer-blackened like they are over on this stretch of dirt. 😀 I always think anything else I find after getting a nice silver coin is gravy, and that I could stop. I usually don't. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
