1796 Half Dime plus indians, large cent, and 14 silvers

[Ground Inspector]

Spent a weekend trying to find thawed ground for the first detecting trip of the year. Several locations on the route still had frozen ground at 3-5".

10 indians (1880 oldest)
1853 large cent
1904 worlds fair token
No date standing liberty
14 silver
A LOT of wheats
1796 half dime...The LI is visible on the top portion of the coin. The top of the last two digits of the date are visible. The diameter matches that of a half dime in the 1796-1805 range. It is too small to be a dime. The orientation of the LI and date as well as the font indicate it is a U.S. silver coin. The last digit is a 6. That being said, the only choice is 1796, since half dimes were not minted in 1806. This coin was found in a location that was detected last year, which produced many coins older than 1860. This would be a new coin for the collection.

Plus some misc. junk.

Found three holed coins. The back of the dime is completely worn off.

Wow, that's a nice first year of hunting. It's posts like this that make me feel silly for posting my single Rosie or Merc finds. Color me jelly.

You don't see many DBSE coins posted here! She may be worn, but at least you can ID it. I once had a half real where the obverse was completely smooth except for the date, which somehow, which showed 1784. You take what you can get for details!
