Hit two farm fields today after work. My best find is my first seated liberty half dime. Man i was so pumped! I have never seen one in person and cant believe how small it is! I love it. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1491961422.881677.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1491961434.583759.jpg

Also found a war nickel and some buttons. Thanks for looking!

I'm hoping to find one this summer when I go to our family farm in Missouri in a town from the 1850's...I probably won't.

She's a beauty. Check out terra germania's YouTube. He has some good ways of cleaning coins. Been using his techniques for awhile now and love em.

She's a beauty and like many have stated hard to come by while metal detecting. She's near the top of my bucket list coins for sure. Consider yourself blessed for having scored a rare silver coin there mate. Well done.
