Met up with East TN detecting crew and JD for a few hours of digging at Tim’s permission today. 1860s home with Union camp out back. We didn’t get to hunt the camp because grass is too deep. Has been hunted many times. It was a good time and there were some nice coins and relics in the yard. I even got a bucketlister.
In the photos below there is a gray disc. It is my bucketlister - A Seated Dime. In the first photo you can see Lady Liberties Head at 1 o’clock position between 2 stars to right and two to the left. Enough info to know it is a Seated between 1838-1853. My new oldest US silver and first Seated in 41 years of detecting. I knew it was old burnt silver as soon as I popped it. Took a few minutes to ID as Seated...woohoo! Finally. She ain’t pretty, but I’ll take her!
Also picked up a couple injuns - 1893 & 1906, a cool piece of Knoxville history - an Island Home Dairy Good For One Pint of Milk Token, a wheat, a huge CW Minie Ball, a pistol round ball and a heart stopper gold plated bell.
Thanks To Tim for hosting us at his permission.
