Oh Boy, Finally get to cross one off the list, Half Dime

[BobinSouthVA]

Finally found one of these little buggers today. This is from a new field the owner tells me has been hit pretty hard, boy was he not kidding. Signals were few and far between except for bullet casings, shotgun shells, this one

Nice Halfdime!

For some reason, that one's a bit unusual. On this forum, you usually see Bust half dimes or they're from the 1850's. No scientific data to back up that claim, just the way it seems. Nice find!

Wow, that is an excellent half dime, great detail................... and it doesn't have a hole in it.

Beautiful Philly HD You were just talking a couple weeks ago you wanted to dig one! Way to go. If you are finding those, you're something right... Very elusive

Now that you mention it I found a half dime yesterday and it was a 1853...with arrows unfortunately. The only other half dime I found was a 1854.

Bob, Nice find...congrats on your first.

Nice one Bob. Always feels good to scratch one off. She should clean up nice with a little light electrolysis.

 

[BobinSouthVA]

Thanks for the kind replies everyone, it sure was satisfying digging this beauty. It sure gives me hope for this new site.

Nice one Bob. Always feels good to scratch one off. She should clean up nice with a little light electrolysis.

I've done some electrolysis with some locks and some big iron items with success, but I don't know if I have the ability to do it with this without toasting it. I haven't tried it with any coins yet.

I'll have to see if I can find a test coin and try it out.
