Man what a morning I had,first I hit some tot lot's and only found a silver
charm that say's"#1 Grandaughter".
Then I decided to go hit my dirt pile's,the other one's were gone and new ones had arrived.
While digging for one target I spotted this in my hole.
It is a bone pokerchip the 2nd one I have found like this.

Then I got this pocket watch key,this neat little button with a sailing ship on it and
here's the charm.

image

In the hole with the pokerchip was this 1872? seated dime.

But my first target when I satred hunting was a little bit of a surprise to me.
As I undcovered it from it's dirt grave I saw it was a large disc but no idea what it was.
So the first thing I did was rub the edge of this disc and I noticed the readed edging,So
I rubbed a little of the face area and saw Miss Lady Morgan just image at me!!
She is a 1884s.
She needs a little more tender loving care to make her look a little better which I will
Do when I pick up some more special cleaner.

Thank's for looking and HH,Tom

    Very nice, very crusty, must have been in the ground along time. I would be shoveling away at that pile! Good luck, got to be more there!

    very cool. your up to 3 now huh? what were the other dates on those. riccar used "EZest" to clean the morgan i got in 2005, it cleaned real nice.

    i've used rakes on piles like that. flatten them out a little to see whats beyond the reach of the detector.

    here's a before and after of riccar's efforts.

    Thank's all for the replie's.

    Goldeneye I think it may be a "s" mintmark on the dime,
    But it's really hard to tell as the back is a little banged up.

    Hey Brian,yep gotta go pick me some ezest up since I ran out of it and
    clean that baby up.Yes this make's 3 morgan's now.Date's on then are 1921s,1895s and 1884s.
    If I could have stayed longer yesterday I would have but it was my
    daughters birthday and I had to make her a cake and stuff,but I will be going back this weekend
    as I plan on leveling that pile to nothingimage

    Laserart I am not sure,as I have scoured the town looking for this demo but nothing.
    I will figure it out and when I do I going to hunt that place hard.

    I find this amazing that someone would have "lost" a Morgan being that they're so big..

    You better 'stake out' that dirt pile & corner the dump truck driver, to find out it's source !!!

    Wow Tom, those are some very nice finds indeed!!! With as much construction as Maine is seeing these days, we should be about to find a few dirt piles of our own. Did you need to get permission form the contractor's to detect?

    Hey BBQ I may just have to put a tracking device on there rigs when I catch them dumping dirtimage


    Hey Mary get in those demo's if there in an old part of town or a real old home getting knocked down,
    that is where alot of goodie's hide.
    No I didn't need to get permission on these as they are put on public land and I have talked to the guy's
    before and all they want to know is if I found anything goodimage
