Not a bust, but then again ..... it was. Trying to find the other 1/2 of a US plate I dug last week. My Sister found a scripted "I" on Her first time out, with Me last week. So we went back for a couple hours - a few shot bullets .... found the Scripted "I" not far from where I found the 1/2 of the US plate ...... and a few acres later, picked up this "capped bust" 1832 half dime ..... clean as a pin. Still getting use the Grey Ghost head phones - not quite that sweet sound of silver, that I was use to.

Awesome half dime, I'd better be hunting with a buddy who's carrying some smelling salts. That coin deserves a "happy Dance".

While that silver would make most do an impression of the dummies on Diggers, that button would make me even happier! Congrats on 2 exceptional finds.

Great coin!! And I know what you mean with the headphones. Takes some getting used to. They're real tinny sounding, if that makes sense. Lol

Great finds but that's a crappy picture.

Ha! Honesty in reply. Love it. But when you find a script I, you can take all the crappy pictures you want, because you rock.
