My first Seated Half dollar, war of 1812 officers, some relics.

[Aureus]

Did a couple of hunts with mixed results. The weather was pretty bad over here with strong winds and cold rain on top of near freezing temperature.
But I still managed to get some interesting finds my favorite being the largest silver coin I have ever found.

Seated Half dollar 1870



Got really surprised finding it as I wasn't expecting to pull a large silver at a spot that didn't really look that promising. It's not in the top shape and looks like it was ''kissed'' by the plow at some point but it sure made my day. It's funny how after finding over a dozen Spanish Reales and a few early French silvers I have never found a half dollar of any kind, until this one showed up.

An other interesting find was British Navy lieutenants coat sized button, War of 1812



A musket butt stock. Unfortunately smashed by the machinery.



A cool saw nut Beardshaw and son, Sheffield (thanks to I.P. for the id )



An early vine bottle glass seal and a buckle



A piece of horse harness?



Gold guild civilian button.



Also found a few 1812-1815 halfpenny tokens that I have left to the farmer.

Thanks for the comments.

Great looking Seated Half. Would you throw one of those south of your border ? I have Seated dimes and Quarters, but haven't walked over a Seated Half yet.

A seated half dollar is a hard one to find,
