Golden uMax finds seated dime in local park

Was using my Golden for jewelry in the park and after 10 minutes I noticed an area that slopes down to the road where the grass was never cut, some trees. Headed straight for it to check it out. Just 5 minutes later I get a high tone, out pops a 1877cc seated dime. Couldn't believe it. Searched that spot another 45 minutes no other coins found. All of a sudden I'm running into seated dimes, it is my fourth for 2011. (I found one way back in the 1970's). Also found this year an 1853 silver 3 cent piece, two shield nickles(badly pitted), no date standing liberty quarter, 14 IH pennies, some kind of colonial buckle, and a lion head, the lion head cleaned up real nice in the tumbler. All that within one mile of each other in tiny spots that maybe were never searched before. The other coins were found with my ID Edge, my old coin detector. I can only say that luck is with me this year and thats a good feeling to detect with.
 
Terrific finds, hope lots more silver comes your way. HH Jimmie

Nice silver you got there, you picked the right sight location, that's for sure. Luck may play a part in such finds, but mostly skill is involved, with excenllent site reading and detecting skills. Keep it up, and nice pictures too:cheers:
 
Most of these coins were found in sections of the park that is partly swampy and wooded and a few found by a river a mile away. Most were 4 - 7" deep, a few of the indian heads were only 1 - 3" deep in the park woods. No body ever goes there in the park woods these days, lots of thorn bushes and some swampy areas. But I guess people went there 100 years ago.

Indians must like the woods. It seems like every time I read about someone finding Indian head pennies, it in the WOODS.:blink:
 
The woods is paying off for me, but no signals deep in the woods. The old coins were all found within 300-400 feet of the road.
