Dug my first ever seated half dime

[cz70pro]

Its only taken me 23 years,but I dug an 1858 seated half dime! It was next to an old oak tree where last week I dug an 1866 indian head penny. Monday I dug a tiny ''play dime" made of aluminum with a picture of John paul jones on it from the 1930s at another site. I thought I dug another one today,but it was seated half dime.... Yes! What kills me is that the site is a 5minute drive from my apt,I have driven to other states and never found one. It must have developed a nice "halo" around it because it was a banging signal at 8'' deep. Never give up/Happy hunting.

Now that's an exciting find! Way to go. The half dime and half cent are still on my bucket list.
