Went out with Jason on this rainy Sunday morning for Mudchurch...Last night I removed the 10X12 SEF coil from the GT and mounted the stock 10" Tornado coil with the idea to hunt a real trashed out section of Nail Park this time...my 2nd target was nestled in among the nails, pulltabs and bottlecaps, but I got a good silvery high tone while circling it, so I cut a good sized deep plug and removed another scoop of dirt for good measure. I began to stir the loose dirt and saw the shine of a silver. I called Jason over to see what it was. He has a pic on his phone of the coin in the dirt...this is what I found...

Mind blowing no doubt! Great save and congratulations on another milestone.

Jason, Bruce got the seated half and the silver dime trifecta, and a IH too I think.

I got 3 Barber dimes, 2 mercs, an IH, some wheats.

Bruce will probably get a seated dollar tomorrow :lol:
