Hi all! I generally do not post much. But this is my oldest U.S silver coin I have ever found. I had to share it! I have been hunting Indian artifacts in this field for years, I just got permission to metal detect it too! I dug a lot of trash at first, some old buttons. Then I got that signal, popped the plug and saw it was a silver coin, I said “please don’t let it be Spanish”. I am very happy with the shape it’s in, no plow damage! I hope it has some friends. :thumbsup:

Wow..great coin. Bust Halves are one of my favorites. You have a great find and a great addition to any collection. You may want to consider getting that one graded and slabbed by ANACS or PGCS.
