Went out today for a small hunt. I been to this old church dated 1840 and had found some IH's. So I decided to go back there and try it again. Today I went out back into the woods some because to ground is so dry. The bugs was so bad bet I used a half can of off. I hunted for a hour and found lots of shot gun shells and then this old lady showed her face to me. I could not beleive my eyes when I saw her. After letting her soak for a couple of hours and she has ben around for a while. She is worn and thin but she is mine a 1827 bust dime the oldest coin that I have ever found. The pics isn't the greatest but I did add them. Now I am wanting to get back out and see what else if there.....Matt

Great find! Try using the macro setting for close up picures. WTG on that bust dime!

My camera dose not have a macro setting it has a closeup setting this is how the pics turns out all the time. One of these days I am going to buy a better camera. Maybe next year at tax refund time. Thanks to all.....Matt
