    MY FIRST CAPPED BUST!!


    After 2 months or so doing research in the library and looking at two old maps of my county (1798 & 1876)and not to metion countless hours searching along the river I've finally hit pay dirt. today was perfect to be outside after above average snow, ice, and cold temps this year. found @4-5 inches.

    Re: MY FIRST CAPPED BUST!!

    Just wondering if any of you think I'm not getting enough depth to possibly reach what could be even deeper. I found a bunch of large iron and copper frags deeper than 6 inches but i'm afraid the ace 250 just doesn't go deep enough for a site this old.

    I'm not sayin that you arn't getting enough, expesialy not with that find, but did you sheck around the spot you found the coin and deeper to see a pocet spill or something?

    Re: MY FIRST CAPPED BUST!!

    That's a beautiful find and in incredible condition

    Looks like it would be about an EF40 AND you have the LARGE DATE variety, which according to PCGS in EF40 would go for about $650
