Sweet Seated Dime!

Thursday after work I hit the grist mill site.
Targets were getting scarce in closer to the mill foundation so I started working areas I have not detected much. Ended up finding a wheat penny and then hit this beautiful seated dime:



It was not very deep at all. The area where it was found:


Since Nate had a test the next day I didn't want him “distracted” and refrained from telling him about the coin. Well after his test the next day Nate heads down to the site.


Didn't take him long and he pulled a Large Cent:


So he comes home and proudly declares to me that he found a Large Cent. Not to be outdone I whip out the seated dime. I love the look of disbelief he gives me in these moments!


A couple other hunts produced my first shield nickel.



Date is very hard to make out.

Misc Stuff:

1875 penny grist mill hunt

So, the September/October weather in Cleveland this year has been exceptionaly nice. This enabled me to get some good perch fishing in. Thus, the detecting trips have been limited to an hour or so after work. The mill site that I have been hunting has been great because it's very close to home. I am content to hunt for an hour and come home with one nice keeper. Each of the last two hour long hunts only netted one keeper each but they were decent ones.
Dug up a crusty IH:

Turned out to be a semi-key date – 1875. But it's still crusty.


The next keeper turned out to be a 1916 Barber Dime.
