1833 half dollar

[hunting deer]

Found this last saturday at 6:00 pm. After going to three places I end up at a place I had hunted several times. A small patch of woods with an old foundation and a well. I got a 13 inch ultimate detech coil for christmas and teemed it up with my ace 250. I decided to run in all metal mode and dig every promising signal. Got a deep signal and hit roots at 6 inches. Was tired and almost disregarded it as a large iron object. I put the shoval under the roots and tryed to pry them up. The half popped up from between them in full view. At first glance I was thinking a large token of some type. I picked it up and noticed it was fairly heavy. I could see the outline of the capped bust and started getting excited. I gently wiped near where the date should be 1833, no way! Still haven't wiped it off yet. Gonna wait awhile. Best of luck to everyone.

Great save !!
If over VF-40 that's at least a $100 coin.

Thanks, its scratched on the front. There was dirt in the scratches when I took the coin out of the ground " I swear" Figured if I did it they would look fresh. I was probing with my digger under the roots thou. I looked at the scratches up close with my loop and they did'nt look shiny to me. If I did it I feel bad but I try to be careful every chance I get. Thanks for the responses and good luck hunting to all.
