2 Firsts

[ArnieTX]

First seated (half dime), first shield nickel (1867).

May have found a small campsite. This is the same area I found a 1851 Officers Sword Belt Plate a couple months ago.

TTF - slow with wiggle.

Love my etrac.

Congratulations on your firsts. Great finds! Thanks for the pictures. I've always wondered how many coins slipped down to the depths there in Texas. I lived near McKinney and Caddo Mills in 70's, and in the summer the ground would get those huge cracks in it.

We stuck a garden hose in one time and after all day, you couldn't even tell the ground was wet.

Very nice! Congrats!
Looks like you'll be tearing that site up come prettier weather.
Looking forward to seeing what all you can pull out of the ground there.
