Several friends have been encouraging me to post on this forum for a while now, so what better time than after finding something that has eluded me for a long time. A draped bust US silver coin! To top it off it is also 1700's vintage 
I have found 44 Spanish silver pieces and loads of large cents and half cents over the last 20 years, but never a bust silver coin of any kind. Although the date is worn off on this one, I can identify it as a 1797 dime by the reverse and the number of stars. Of course I wish it was in better shape, but it is what it is, and I'm happy to have found it!!
I also dug a King George III, 12 buttons (including a CW era eagle button), a thimble, some drawer pulls, a parasol part, some type of pin, a couple musket balls, and pewter spoon bowls along with the usual trash. All in all it was a fun day of digging.
I need to learn how to separate pictures and text on this forum
