This is several small hunts with the best find today, an 1835 Capped Bust half dime, my oldest U.S. coin. I couldn't believe when I saw it in the hole 8 inches down. I almost didn't dig it as it rang up like a zinc Lincoln. Also the 1863 fatty Indian was today and a rookie mistake was made. I scratched it. It was in rocks and clay and I couldn't hardly get anything out of the hole, so I got careless. 12 Wheats ranging from 1930 to 1958, a 5 Peso coin from the Philipines that I recovered from a coinstar, a model T valve stem cover, and a Blair County, Pa dog tax paid tag from 1908. That would be the oldest dog license I have ever dug. The Capped Bust is my first Capped Bust coin and a big bucket lister for me. These small hunts have been squeezed in while remodeling a kitchen for my better half. I haven't had a lot of time to MD but I am thankful for the few nice finds.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting. Good luck.
