Very kind words John, thank you. Your right the Seated's are special and fairly rare. Except for my first year in this hobby I have been blessed to get my coil over at least one every year since. This one almost made me overlook the two Silver dimes I dug earlier that morning. No matter what #16 will be I look forward to adding it to the coffers. Trapper
Thank you Rick for the reply. Persistence was almost not a factor on this one. I had my mind made up not three feet back that this site was hunted out. One hole made a difference on this outing for sure. While I did not dig anything of real note after it did remind me that diligence does have some great rewards. Trapper
Thank you Metal. I can understand that emotion, I get that way when I see all the east coast Coppers or when Tom pulls another piece of Spanish Silver there in Cali. Over all though I feel pretty blessed that every now and again I get my coil over a some type of Silver. TrapperThat seated dime makes me a tad bit jelly.
Appreciate your reply Flood. You description of the soil fits to a tee what I was digging in. The backfilling drove me nuts. I had hope that this site would give me the opportunity to dig a couple of Indians but it was not to be. The church was built in 1870 and is still in use today. I would have thought I'd dig a lot more history but the Seated was the only item from pre 1900 and the two Wheat's the only other that held any age. (1919 & 1925) Trapper
Kind reply KC, thank you. Pretty happy to now have that coin in my coffers, Seated coins are not a every day recovery for any of us. TrapperThe seated dime is awesome congrats
Thank you for your reply LB. Digging the trifecta that includes a Seated is so very satisfying. Just dont come across a awful lot of those types of coins. Trapper
Never looked at from that view Geo. Just had never had any soil like it before to play in. Most of the stuff we have in this area is the black loam and it holds water fairly good. Plugs for the most part hold together with some roots going down 3 inches. I agree with you though I don't like digging in rocks either. Trapper
Hunting so far this year has been very good Mike. Just need a lot more time to do a bunch more of it. I have high hopes that the later half of the year will give me a few more opportunities. Trapper
Appreciate your kind words Jason, thank you. Been very tough on getting any measurable amount of swing time so far this year. Hope the later part of this year will allow me a lot more opportunities. Trapper
Thank you Garrett for your reply. I almost gave up on that site just before stumbling over the Seated. It turned out to by my best find of the day and put a little more spark into spending a lot more time in the location. TrapperExcellent dimes to make up your trifecta, Trapper! Nice job.
Better late Jeff than not at all, note this as your reply is appreciated. It was a pretty good day for sure. It's funny as the Seated kinda over shadowed the first part of the day despite the success. TrapperLate to the party Trapper - but that's a great hunt, love the pics and that Seated is a great great find. Congrats
