half dime

[allen]

A couple of weeks ago me and Fingergrime
was at a spot that he found on an old map
here in Shelby County and right off the bat
I had a great quarter signal and it turned out to
be a 1907 O Barber quarter in beautiful shape,
then not more than 10 feet away I got a dime
signal at about 6 inches, I started digging away
and just couldnt find the target, so i ran my Ace
over a lump of dirt and thats where the little
sucker had gone to.
I reached down and saw it was silver and without
looking at it handed it to Aaron and he said its a
seated dime, but after another look we both said
its a seated half dime, my first one ever.
Not in great shape, but it is a 1842 and im happy .
First pic is the Barber quarter, second is the front of
the half dime and the third is the back of the half dime

That is what took me and Fingergrime(Aaron) by surprise
was the condition of the half dime and thats why we thought
it was a seated dime at first.

"Maybe it's a sick Love Token Great dig's Allen"
I dont want them loving me that way, lol.

"Research then search worked extremely well for you . Nice old silvers

Aaron is a very determined reasearcher and I appreciate him taking
me to the spots he has researched and we always find some goodies.

We have to wait till the briars and stick tites die down before
we can go back, between those pesty things its hard to detect.
