I've been hitting the alleyways pretty hard lately. As usual digging a lot of pennies, rusted screws, flakes of metal, wire, etc. Got another signal in the penny range and decided to dig for practice--shallow target. Out popped the silver Capped Bust(early 19th century). Really cool. It is worn badly. Not sure if it's a half-dime or dime--size is in-between--but closer to a dime. Shout out to Johncoho for suggestions on improving my technique. I think it helped. HH.
