Spring was good , finding my best coin this year 1805 -Draped Bust Half Dime
Finding this coin was a shocker ,A Colonial site near Genesseo N.Y. That my friend Tim? invited me to hunt turned out to be great when this coin popped out ,knowing it was silver I showed Tim the piece before I wiped the dirt off. You could see the edge so I was hoping it was not a spanish real. The area gave up a number of flowing haired large cents ,and Colonial coppers, so when another friend Jim B came over I gave it to him and I said just tell me it's a U.S. Coin, He said it says America on the reverse. We knew it was going to be good so when we cleaned it off in a small mud puddle you can see the beautiful lady on? the front with the date. I yelled yes, this was the best coin at least Silver that I have ever found...So I thanked Tim who took me to the site by taking him to the site i found? and he found the 2 best Pieces there as I discussed in the Todays find Post.... When I got home and looked it up in the coin book I was even more excited when I learned that there were only 15600 minted? ......I can just say that Relic Hunting and the Research to find these spots are what makes this hobby so much fun and to enjoy finding nice pieces to share with others.....John
