Capped Bust quarter and killer finds at local park!

CORRECTED TITLE (CAPPED BUST QUARTER)

----

I missed out on a week of detecting and had a major itch to get to the dirt. So in the afternoon I headed to my favorite local park that I've been pounding for the past 2 years.

I hit the same areas as usual ( the ones that have been good to me in the past) never expecting much, maybe an Indian it a merc that I missed on my previous hunts, never the less, today my deus and I were on fire, I first got the 1903 Indian, few minutes later I was on fire;

When I saw the silver disc pop out from the ground I was not expecting it to be more than a silver Washington quarter, then I saw the eagle back and was stoked that I pulled a seated, when I turned her over I saw it was even older, a CAPPED bust, 1834!! She made me work for it, the ground was extra hard, but she's worth every drop of sweat!

The other finds include additional 5 silvers, 2 Indian cents (one being a 1909 non-S) a buffalo nickel which I have to gently clean, a stack of wheaties and 2 old buttons, one looks really old:

In summary, this was one of my better days, and given that I already pulled a lot of history from this place, makes it even sweater!!

Happy hunting!

The deus is tough to master, I had it for over the year and still learning, but the machine is a beast especially at dirty locations!

Well , You really caught my attention with the "Draped" word , But Capped aint to bad either !

(maybe go a little lighter on the abrasives with the Capped Bust ,than you did with the other silvers )
