Seated Dime Surprise

[size=medium]I haven't been out much lately so when I had some time to go Saturday I jumped on it. I was planning on driving down a ways to an old school to look for some silver, but I changed my mind and went to a field site close to home. I was told there was a Civil War campsite here and I know there was a lot of activity in this area. I got the go ahead to hunt, put my boots on and got to swinging. I was digging the typical trash when I got a choppy signal on my Etrac. I was hoping to dig some bullets and maybe luck up on a button, and I didn't even have coins on my mind. I was very surprised to see silver in my clump after finding the signal. It didn't take long after seeing the older style wreath that I had an older Seated dime. I don't dig these often so it's a thrill when I luck up on one. I took my time to enjoy the moment and got it cleaned up enough to see she's a worn 1857 but she's pretty awesome to me. With so much wear it's hard to say if it was dropped by a soldier. I did find a nice 3 ringer close by along with some other small bullets and pieces of brass. I didn't find much more but that little coin made my day. There is a lot of field to cover and I hope to get back there soon if the weather allows. HH David[/size]

Ha! Thanks man. I feel sorry for all you guys up north that get the deep freeze. We've been lucky down here that the ground hasn't frozen over in a long time. I will keep swinging as long as I can.
 
Congrat's on the Seated, those are hard to find and keep posting those winter finds because it helps me to make it throw the cold winters up here.
 
Nice! I just found my first seated last month an 1884 dime in great shape! and my first gold half eagle! great start with my e-trac!

Thanks Mark. We have pretty mild winters around here so I'm hoping to get in a few more hunts.
