Closed the day with my first Draped Bust Half Cent

[BTV Digger]

Slow day yesterday. Met several nice people, scored two permissions - and nothing but can slaw and some pottery frags. The 1857 Walling Map said there was an old house on one of the spots I hit, but nothing was there - nada. Weird. By 200 pm time was running out so I went back to my virgin site #1 and spent only 45 minutes there before scoring my first Draped Bust half cent. After that I just headed home since it had been a long and slow day. It's an 1804, trust me, but the coin is nearly roasted ( you can just make out the 0 and the crosslet 4). Oh well - I'm happy I could get an ID. HH!
