You are a very lucky man. Congrats on finding a very nice specimen of the Capped Bust half dime.
Many people will be envious of such a rare find.
Best of luck to you sir!
Edit: I couldn't resist... I saw the other boys posting theirs...here is a pic of the '31 that I dug in April. It's the best coin that I have EVER found.
As Tom says...I'd sure like to find a silver coin that old and in that great shape. Congratulations and thanks for the pic. I'll bet you plan on spending a tad more time out there, GOOD LUCK!

I have one Capped Bust half dime and it is also 1830. I would hunt that area hard. Might have been a random drop, but then again there might be a site there with more goodies.
