1842 O Half Dime and '92 Indian Head cent. Oldest silver so far!

[frogginfish]

Went out for a quick hunt after a short rain this evening. Knocked on a few doors and finally got an answer! Was in digging mode for 20 minutes and got a 82-83 on the AT Pro about 4 inches down. Turned the plug over and I see the edge of silver sticking out...tiny silver.
Pulled it out and instantly seen the 'half dime'. I about flipped! Turn it to the obverse and see the 1842 staring me in the face...oldest silver yet!!!

About 10 feet over, I score the 1892 Indian Head cent! Had to leave shortly after but got the green light to come back.

Thanks for looking!

1842 congratulations and the 1/2 dime is in really good condition. The I.H was a nice score as well. Worth trip back to is my guess.

I'd call that an EF-40. You might want to give that home owner a nice bottle of wine!
