Spend the day scouting and hitting a few random spots off the grid, heading back to the truck to end the day I got an iffy high tone with the Nox 800 and decided what do I have to lose just dig it! BOOM! Found a first and Mark one off the Bucket List! Got seated by an absolutely stunning 1847 Seated Half Dime!! :headbang:Might actually send this one in for grading due to condition, anyone have any ideas what grade she might receive? Enjoy and HH!

I took a friend hunting one time and he found a Half Dime, which to this day I have still yet to find. We don't hunt together anymore.

Awesome find! Congratulations

Thanks folks!! Definitely didn’t expect to pull this outta the hole almost thought it was a button at first then I gently popped some dirt off and saw the Seated, literally yelled PLEASE BE A HALF DIME!!! LOL! Never been so gentle with a coin and it paid off by saving it’s mint luster, pics just don’t do it justice. Took me 6 years to find this little beauty. Super Happy!!
