First time out this year and for a hour turned out great!!

[cosmic]

First time out this year and decided to use the 3KHzs coil on my XT70.. Went to the park a few blocks from my house where the original courthouse once stood.. Was digging junk and a few modern coins and the junk items always had a wide range of VDI number.. The coins don't vary more than 2 numbers(36-38 ) I went to the discrimination pattern that I modified for high silver.. Found a small high-tone that locked on as a dime 36-38 vdi and at 5" measure found a bit of a silver rim sticking out.. I knew it was silver but I don't ever field clean (good thing!!) and without taking the dirt off I placed it some sliced wet foam rubber I have in a pill bottle to keep good finds separate from each other.. I thought "good day" figuring I found a rosie or merc.. I got back to the house and started to rinse my finds under running water.. A few modern, 37 wheatie and a copper nugget (glacial till area).. I removed the silver dime from the bottle and started to rinse and a beautiful seated lady appeared !!!! YAHOO!!!! I grabbed my magnifying glass and what a beauty.. Here's some pics..
I don't think I'll be taking that 3KHzs coil off for a long time!!!!

Way to go Cosmic, I'll bet that dime was in the ground for a looooong time. Can you imagine how many people have walked right over it?Congrats.

Great Find for sure.
What are your setting for deep silver?

Ain't that old silver pretty when it comes out of the ground. I just love the Seated Liberty coins!!! Nice dig!!!

Let's see.......... 3kHz coil.............. TID not varying more than two notches............... where have I heard that before? HH Randy

Not only a seated but a Carson City to boot!!! That is one terrific coin find and one to be proud of. Your story is a great argument in favor of the 3khz coil.

Congrats!

THANK YOU Randy!!
John61boy, I usually run in all metal with the sensitivity of 26-27 and when the iron signals get to bad I back off the sensitivity until it drops out.. I was a bit overwhelmed in the trash so I set a silver pattern discriminating everything except 28-44 and sensitivity about 20-24..
Thanks all.. Yep a CC to boot!!!

The only 1877 coin I've ever found was an IH and those are high value, congrats on a very nice seated coin, thanks for the silver setting. HH
