<p><strong>Saturday, Kyle invited us down to his choice fields for a hunt, Doug and his nine year old son Malachi, Diane and I drove out to meet him and we all rode to a cornfield first.</strong> The stalks were still high in this fresh cut field and so were our expectations.</p> <p>The others got into the field just a bit ahead of me, but I was able to make the first find, a 12-25 signal led me believe I had a button or maybe a fatty Indian. I did pop out an Indian but it was not a fatty but a severely corroded 1902.</p> [split] <p>It took us a while more to find where we thought the house site would be. We dug some ornamental brass pieces, a couple of farm relics and then Doug called out and gave the silver signal. His find turned out to be an 1876-CC Seated Dime, a bit worn but a sweet find.</p> <p>We decided to move on after not getting many any signals at all here. We then moved to a bean field that had given Kyle many keepers before.</p> <p>I had dug a several Indian signals that turned out to be brass or copper bits of metal. I then got a 12-38 very solid all directions. I dug my plug and when I scanned the clod of dirt. The pin pointer sounded off loudly. I wiped away some dirt and I could see a small dark silvery disc and honestly, my thoughts were "oh no, another play dime".</p> <p>This time it was different. A quick flick off of dirt showed the magical “Half Dime”. I immediately went into my happy dance and I could see Diane looking at me and shouting out to the others “I think Tony has gotten something good!”</p> <p>It turned out to be my first ever pre-1900 silver, first seated of course. And to think it was a Half Dime was just frosting on the cake.</p> <p>The buzz over my find lasted just a bit when Malachi got a good signal. And when his Dad dug it out it was a large copper disc, very corroded our speculation there were maybe a half cent or King George Copper, since it was so thin. But at this time we still have not determined what exactly it is.</p> <p>We then went to another field that entailed a long walk back crossing several field. Kyle had done well in this field before but other than Doug getting a couple of buttons not much else turned up.</p> <p>It was getting late so we went across the road to another site where Doug turned up a first for him, a fatty Indian and an 1859 to boot. By this time we were all dead tired and left the fields behind.</p>
