Return Trip Produces another Keeper....
Set out about 2pm this afternoon on a return trip to the site of yesterdays hunt...I logged about two hours with not much to show in the finds category.Lots of rimfire cartridges and pieces of lead and copper,was starting to think the day might be a "bust" and was considering trying a new spot,I am glad I persisted,and was rewarded nicely with another first for holding my ground...Pictured below is my first Capped Bust Coin A fairly worn 10c
A Fatty IH that has seen better days,and alot of misc parts and pieces,enjoy the pics...

Re: Return Trip Produces another Keeper....
How do J man,They were both 4-6" and about 5 feet apart,found the Capped first and the IH was the next target dug,perhaps a mid 1800's pocket spill....I think you meant the coins were getting you excited for April,I sure hope thats what you meant 
Thanks MarineDad,the IH is rough to say the least,but after 150 years of dirt moisture and fertilizer,it is nice to just know what it is...
Later Bud

Re: Return Trip Produces another Keeper....
You sure know how to sniff out the oldies. The only time my coins have dates that old is after I use a dremel on them. Congrats
