Todays find, DRAPED Bucket Lister and oldest U.S. coin

[RelicMaster777]

Haven't posted anything since May because I haven't been able to get to any of my spots. So finds have been few and far between. But I made a new digging buddy a couple weeks ago and I have been able to get out digging twice. First time we went out I brought him to my old school yard to see if we could score a little silver and we did. I got four mercs and two small pieces of silver jewelry and he got a merc. Nothing that great. Today I brought him to my one of my spots were I have found a lot of early 1800's stuff. I must say I have pounded this place and targets are hard to find now . But I still had hopes for this place. Well today I managed to squeak out a mid 1800's cooper flat button in spot I have hammered. After awhile I said lets go to the back field in back of the mansion. After about a hour with no finds and a lot of deep iron nails I said lets go to the school at least we could score a little silver. He wanted to stay a little longer. So I'm swinging over a spot I have hammered I don't know how many times now with a ATpro, CTX3030, makro multi and a nox 800 I get a nice signal on the nox reading 20-21 with 5 or 6 bars on the depth. I dig down 9in. and out pops this coin that I don't know what it is. looks like a quarter to me or a foreign coin. After a little rubbing I see half cent then a little rubbing on the front I started seeing the draped bust. Anyway I was thrilled to have found my oldest U.S, first draped bust, first U.S. half cent and in pretty nice condition

What a sweet coin! The condition is remarkable, and would probably clean up nicely, although I’d be scared to do ANYTHING to it. Congrats on an excellent find!

Excellent find and very nice condition. Congrats on the oldest coin for you and it being a half cent. I've found some draped busts but still have not come across a half cent!
