One of my favorite coins to dig up is the Seated Liberty dime. Not only are they a small target, they are so "few and far between" around here that, up until two years ago, I had found only 25 Seated dimes over the previous 33 years of detecting. Anyway, as I was sorting through my coins from recent hunts, I noticed that I was cataloging quite a few of them. I was surprised to find that, since the introduction of the X-Terras, I'd found an additional 17 seated dimes. I could give myself credit for doing better research, hunting better sites and being a better detectorist. But I have to give some (most) of the credit to Minelab.
Of these 17 dimes found with my X-Terras, I found 2 with the X-30 and 7.5 kHz stock coil, 5 with the X-50 and stock 7.5 kHz coil, 1 with the X-50 and 6-inch DD, 2 with the X-70 and stock 7.5 kHz coil, 3 with the X-70 and 3 kHz coil and 4 with the X-70 and 6-inch DD.

Winter has set in around here and my "detecting" has turned into researching new places to hunt in 08. Hopefully the trend with seated dimes continues. Or better yet, maybe 08 will finally yield me a gold coin. HH Randy
