1826 Capped Bust Half Dollar

[j.d. in the usa]

Hi guys some of you know I found this in the last week of Dec. last year so it doesnt count for this years totals, I got home late and decided to take a shower before I took pics and posted it, after I got out I could not find it anywhere I searched and searched and even went back to the spot i found it the next day and found nothing... I pissed and moaned about it for three days straight in the chat room here, I'm sure some of you remember...lol lol
Well yesterday my son says here Dad I found this in a DVD case, now I have no idea how it ended up in the case I kinda remember my daughter wanting to watch a movie that night so I probably in rush did it and forgot about it.. I dont know but hey I got it back!! yippy!!
I lost 1 other coin I found before it was an 1809 half reale in PA. i never did find it again....
In approx. 5 years of detecting now this was capped bust # 11 2 half dimes, 6 dimes, 3 halfs.... hh all

I cant wait to go detecting!!! but it will be awhile yet

It don't get no better than that, unless it's Gold, of course! I got a capped bust half-dime a while back, looked like it caught the worst of the battle!
