1810 Half A dollar

[SkyPirate]

Found these items at the site of an old granite chimney. I detected this site about 7 years ago with my Bounty hunter detector and decided to return with my Garrett. I found all this stuff with my Ace 150.
The silver spoon is marked T.J. Brown 10 15 on the back. The coin is an 1810 fifty cent piece. It reads "Half a dollar" and "fifty cents" on its edge. Someone there driving a tractor told me the house was built in the late 1700's and that some Confederate troops camped on the farm during the civil war. Also found a silver plated butter knife and spoon, a modern key and some CW bullets.

I think its the best when you find something out of the ordinary. All of your finds were very unique and that makes it so exciting! I haven't been out that much so pretty much everything is exciting but, you know Nice job and hit that spot again!

What an outstanding day of hunting. The half is not only very old, but it has such a great natural look. What a great addition to your collection!! Congratulations. I would be going back for years to see if I could find any more like that.

I like how nonchalant your post was..WOW..i would have lost my freakin mind!!!!..I did when i found my first half..and yours was 133 yrs older...Awesome Find!!!

 

[SkyPirate]

Is it me, or does that "8" look upside down? One great looking coin there chief....

I was thinking the same thing......I wonder if it is a mistake and the coin is worth more than $75?

 

[SkyPirate]

Looks like it wasn't in the ground?

I cleaned it.

I knew I had a pretty good find with the coin but I don't know much about old coins so I don't get really excited. I had a guy in our MD club look at it and tell me it was a great find. I have found some really good stuff this past year because I was able to get out a lot.
