1798 Draped Bust!

[treblehunter]

I went on another great site that Vino got permission, one hour and a half drive one way for me. George had 7 other people there all hunting and finding great stuff. A few people from Tnet, it was very nice meeting Cjon, his son and Levierick and his daughter. There were a few other guys, I'm not sure if they are Tnetters. Very nice people, very beautiful place that has MUCH history. If this was on digger's, Ringy would be saying that I found George Washingtons 1798 Draped Bust and it is worth 20,000 dollars (they sure do like to hype up the values on that show) It was the preverbial walk back to the truck for me. I told myself that I was going to hit along this one old wall then head home. First target after I thought that I get a 88 signal ringing nice at 8" deep. I pulled out a toy cement truck. Head down the wall about five ft from the truck, get a 83 hit very tight to the wall, 4" deep My AT Pro tells me. I get down 5 '' out pops the sweetest looking LC I have ever dug!

Enjoy the pix, HH & GL
Thanks again George for the invite

I've been wanting a 1798 Draped Bust Cent for some time. Since the chances of me ever digging one is like finding a needle in a haystack, I bit the bullet and bought one this weekend.

Congratulations on finding that needle, and with nice detail, at that!

Wow....what a beautiful coin. Hope it stayed dry for you guys. Did Cjon buy you a Happy Meal?

 

[treblehunter]

Thank you everyone for your replies, I feel very fortunate to have found that coin. I like the musket ball also, my first 64 caliper.

69 caliper!!!!!

 

[Old Dude]

Lol....I don't think the guy eats! I bought donuts the morning of our first hunt and he declined. I wish I had been there too. If you 2 don't tick Vino off with the razzing about the ATP's finding the good stuff, maybe he will invite everyone again and I can finally get on welfare and not have to work!

 

[treblehunter]

69 caliper!!!!!

Friend of mine used to hunt with a 54 caliper, that's where I get all crossed up! Tomato, tomato, large cent, large copper, Haaaaaa lol

 

[Old Dude]

I keep looking for Vino's finds?!?

Any US coin from 1700's is a good find, that copper is a lot better than most for sure.
I got one of the same date but is in "just barely there" condition, PP I call it.

Must be a great site to have 7 diggers on it, with everyone pulling out the goods.
Sounds like you all had a great time.
