The other day I had a sweet detecting day,I call it dime day!!
I was hunting the spot where I got the 2 reale at a few week's and then place had more to
give up to me and my trusty machine.
Right off the bat and mean as soon as I turned on the machine nd made my first swing
I got a sweet hit and out of the ground came a 1840 seated dime a little worn but a sweet site to see!!
Then a few minute's later I get another sweet hit and out of the dark soil pops up a 1853 w/arrows seated dime.I'm thinking dude can this get any better??
The answer was soon to come as I popped another silver out of the ground.
Not sure what it is but it's bigger then a dime and I can make out a little writing on the edge
but nothing else.Then a little while later out of that dark soil come's another seated dime,
it was a 1865s.Then a little later I popped out my first holed coin(LM's favorite type
)
it was a fatty IH.
Then thing's slowed for a bit but the dirt still had something to give up to me and it was
a bust dime,I can't make out a date on it yet but I will try.
This not all.
I also got a few relic's as well.There are some pistol ball's,led bullet,small gold ring,
bone handle pocket knife, and other nick nack's.
and finally these 2 nice Chinese clay marbles.

<< <i>Yet more amazing finds! Man, are you like bi-polar? When do you sleep?

What is the history behind the spot you detected at?

Well the area perty much date's back to the goldrush.It is where all the cargo ship's
could come up and unload all the supplie's and people going to the gold rush field's.
What I have been doing is chasing the dirt as they dig it up.
They are doing work in the oldest part of town where there just digging out a big enough area
to work in and they are going down 9ft.There taking the dirt to an area I have access too
and then when there done they put it all back in the hole and then start a new one.
