Thanks cellrdwellr! This is my first seated dime.
Thanks BuscaPlata! Man, I enjoy this hobby.
Thanks Tpmetal! I only wish they pop up more often and for everyone else too.
Thanks GeneralQuaters! I was hoping I find some more in the general area, but no such luck.
Thanks NCToad! Silver is always a good feeling.
Thanks Caseypatton87! I only wish my photos were better.
Thanks Waveoff! That small thin dime sure made my week.
Thanks Diggerjonny! The park I went to had the potential for it to be found and I am glad it was there.

Thanks Tom_in_CA! This week been a killer week. First the large copper and then this thin dime.
Thanks Saoirse! They don't seem to come often for me.
Thanks matmit! I was lucky coil found what it was searching for.
Thanks chillforlife! Thanks again for your kind words. It feels good to finial have something to post on the board.
Thanks coin chaser! You are so right...sometimes it is that one single coin that makes it so worthwhile.

Two things JAK...firstly,GREAT coin! They’re hard to find,it takes a lot of searching in old places to make those appear,and even then it’s not often.
Secondly,”starvation lean” is all relative,meaning....if you have THAT many high conductor signals left in that park(I’m looking at the rest of what you found) then I would call that LOADED. Because,any one of those COULD have been a silver of some shape or size with varying wear. I guess my theory is that if ANY high conductor signals remain,you have a chance at silver,especially in a very old place with original dirt!
My secondary theory is...you had better go BACK to that place and do it again!

Thanks IDXMonster! You brought a some valid points. The general field area was very lean but for a few deep nickels and that dime. Most of the clad were around the newer, more common areas of the usual road path, picnic tables and benches, etc. It is on my list for a return visit.
Thanks metaladdict! I was a real surprise for me too to finding it. Now I can relax.
Thanks pescadore! When I found a few deep nickels in the area, I felt there was hope for more interesting find/s.

Oh man, I'm jealous, a seated is # 1 on my list, not pickey, I'll take a seated anything. Looks like the Equinox did well in a pounded spot. HH Mark

Awesome find, JAK! Congrats! I just found my first Seated coin a week or so ago - coincidentally also an 1861 dime...yours is in much better shape than mine was, but they're all beautiful! Congrats again!

Thanks Mark! I went back to that location today where I found the seated, but when I got there city workers were doing maintenance, so I skipped it for today. I think most of the time it is pure luck that I find a few decent targets.
Thanks AirmetTango! And a big congrats to you for your 1861 too! Hopefully we'll both find more!

That's nice. I'm still waiting on a haircut. I've been sat down but still waiting on the cut
Thanks kilester! I was hoping to get back to that hunt location today again, but it looks like I might be rained out. I hope you find your's too and soon.
Thanks E-TRAC! A small thin dime like that sure adds to the addiction.
