    Hey Dave, nice you see you out and having more excellent success! Pretty certain I've hunted that park before- I was just in Newport a couple of weeks ago, at a different park. I don't typically hunt the woods and as such, never ventured up that hill into that area. The lead soldier was awesome and huge congrats for he Seated! Happy New Year!

    Hey Dave great hunt. Love the Lead Soldier. That's one of the coolest ones I've seen. Awesome 1911 Dog Tag. The N Relic that's a different find very cool. Congrats on your IHPs, War Nickle, 1919 Mercury Dime, and especially your Third 1877 Seated Dime. Those are really fun to find. Congrats on your other Relics to. If you have a chance check out Crazie Digging. December has been an unbelievable month for me. I found a once in a lifetime Silver Spill and one week later I did the unthinkable. A Coin everyone would love to find. Take Care Dave. Merry Christmas to you and your good luck charm.

    Seated dime at a public park! Dont see that too often. Well done. Any beach hunts coming up? From Newport to Tiverton is full of small beaches et al. On a different note the pre lim and renaissance worked good on the coins. Nice to have them preserved. Zeb

    💥💥💥Somebody was definitely detecting that site, but like you said, that doesn't mean squat. I've worked sites like that and pulled finds like a virgin cellar hole. Always assume the guys that came before you worked it with a $30 Harbor Freight detector, and be sure to check all the known hotpots around a colonial homestead.

    in the 1800's farmers who couldn't buy jewelry for their wives because they were poor they punched a hole inside the coin and use a string to tie it around and make a coin necklace. Also The Brass Native American kettle point was used for jewelry and trade with Europeans at a trading post. when are you going to join Brad Martin from Green Mountain Metal Detecting.
