Field yields 1857-O Half-Dime

[Jazdo]

I got out some yesterday to a favorite spot of mine. It was quite windy,and signals were somewhat hard to hear,but warm temps made up for that!

After about 15 minutes I found a washed out area that yielded a horshshoe so not a bad start. I walked along the edge of the field for a while,but the cleansweep was pretty quiet. I decided to cut towards middle area and began seeing some glass shards along with the pottery piece. I picked up a signal with my GSII not very strong but repeatable; I knew it was time to dig. After cutting a big plug I could tell it was out of the hole,but still wasnt very strong so I spread the pile around and"BINGO" there it was.
Later I found the nice glass what appears to be window piece but not sure along with the other items.

A good start to the year! thanks for lookin.

Nice half dime. A Half dime is on my (long) list of 'hope to find' items. Maybe this season...

The small circular item is a wind-up key for a pocket watch. I just found one of those myself recently and someone helped ID it here for me. What I have not found yet is a half dime and yours is a fine one!

Thanks allen

All of your stuff there is 1850s/early 1860s, including the glass.

The nice decorative aqua piece is part of a scroll flask, and it looks like the bullet might be an Enfield.

The glass sherds look really nice. The glass of that era can be extremely nice.

Thanks plehbah I have found some other color glass also purple,green.
