Finally!! Capped Bust

Wednesday, January 19​

Matt talked me into going on one last hunt with him yesterday before I left, and thanks to him, I now have my first capped bust coin :headbang: As many holes as I've dug in SC, NY, VA, MO, and AR in the last 4 years, its really incredible that I finally got one in Arkansas on the last hunt I'll have for over a year.

If you saw the post from this last weekend, you'll remember that Matt brought me out to this site on Friday.

http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,377213.0.html

Over the last 8-10 years, this spot has given up 30+ silver coins, all pre-1855. :o I was able to manage an 1850 halfdime and the gold bar on Friday and yesterday I scored the 1830 halfdime. It was such an amazing feeling, I think my hands shook for 30 minutes :laughing7: Most guys would probably not be kind enough to have me come out to a spot like this, so I'm very grateful Matt. Thanks a million :notworthy:

I think the soldier who had the center Enfield bullet was missing his wife :laughing9:​

Possibly the same guy got ahold of this piece of lead ::)​

Odd looking bullet Post-war?​

WTG Jeff!!! What a coincidence that I found a 1830 half dime at a CS site last Fall. My coin saw more circulation than yours-lots of trading went on here in Tennessee-LOL. You guys had a great day. Those F75s will get it done at "hunted out" sites. Have a safe year in Europe and check in on Tnet from time to time. Stay safe, Quindy.
