1830 Capped Bust Dime

[Sniffy]

Went and picked up Heavymetalnut today. Decided to do some downpour metal detecting in the cold. We searched 4 cellar holes today, the 1st one I found this crotal bell and a button and some other odds and ends. The other two sites were duds, but the last site that I recently found ended up being a sweet spot. At first the targets weren't comin at all, and finnaly I got an awesome solid "silver" signal on the prizm. (penny bouncing to quarter signal) I dug 4 inches down and tangled in the roots was this absolutely beautiful capped bust dime. I can't begin to explain the feeling. I rinsed it off in the brook and realized how beautiful it actually was. My new favorite coin. Dave came over to witness all of this.....and not even 30 seconds after I covered my hole he to had an awesome signal, I checked it on the prizm...solid copper reading...he digs down and there it was, a colonial copper. He's amped, I'm happy for him. And then! Not even 10 minutes later he calls me over with a another awesome signal...solid quarter reading....He digs again, BAM New Jersey Copper! What a day we both had, I ended up diggin another button....We were both soaking wet but our blood was runnin soo much we both didn't even notice...Thanks for lookin.

But they moved 2,000 lbs or iron to find it.

I want to dig a Capped like that.

And I'll dig whatever it takes (iron, brass, or you-name-it) to get my coil over a coin as fine as the one you dug.
