Hello T'Netters. Hit some new territory with a buddy today. Nice spot, but the hits were few and far between. But my first target of the day was a beauty. An 1832 Capped Bust quarter ! I didn't dare clean it in the field but my buddy took a look and knew exactly what it was. As a matter of fact he practically predicted this find. On the hike in he stated that you never see people posting Capped Bust quarters. He was rewarded later in the hunt with a nice Colonial copper.
















Happy Hunting!

Thanks folks! I don't get many silvers in the pursuit of those crusty old cellar hole coppers. This was a rare surprise for sure!

Gorgeous Capped Bust Quarter! I love the way the '32' shows through the dirt on the early shot from out in the woods!
