My earliest american coin

[Beercanman]

Sure it's toast but its my first half cent. Spent hours at an old mansion the day before with no great finds. Then today i had a half hour in the public park next to my work and this pops out between the hobo screw caps. 1807 half cent.

Still a nice find and an old one. May want to hit that area again. I'm sure it gets redundant to continually dig bottle caps. Nice find.......
