    Yarg. image

    Don't ask me what "yarg" means. It just came out. I suspect it's a primitive exclamation of jealousy, since I haven't dug a Seated half yet.

    (Three half dimes, four dimes, one quarter. Fourteen years. That's it for me and dug Seated stuff, so far. I tried today, but no such luck.)

    Nice a seated half is still on my want list. I guess I will just settle for seated dimes.

    thanx for the replys . i stumbled on this sight searching for info on a 1891 s/s dime i found .
    allmost all of the hunting i do is old sights demos , old home remodles , old town empty lots . i rely like finding old coins . i have found a 2 gold rings one was out of a privy pre 1860s that one i still wear the other came frum a side walk demo in the old part of town so i guess it's pre 1920 . just over 1/4 oz .
    glad i found the sight
