Great find Bob,
When i see a coin like this, I begin to think about its first owner, and all of the people who have handled this over its 160 year history. This to me, is the great thing about being a detectorist!
Happy Hunting

 

[MINELABBOB]

YA CHUCKCIAO
me to, and what was he doing there and so-on. what i know back in 1860s this area was a supply area 4 wen they built the RR.
and i think they were camping next to the streem and he droped it. i also found 2 more sitting LIB. DIMES in the area over the years!!

I've heard the reason these old silver =coins has holes in them is to sew them into their clothes so if they ever ran out of money they woulds always have money in case they needed it. I found a holed 1819 capped bust half dollar and a holed 1863 seated liberty half dollar in the same hole about 1 1/2 years ago and someone told me that. Great find.
