1827 Capped Bust dime from playground

[cheffer]

Decided to take some backroads through the hill towns on my way home, found a town park with a big field and spent a little time hunting around. Really hot out in the sun so I worked the edges for a little while, got a very faint 91 on the Deus and found a 1827 dime about 9 inches down:





Last time I found a capped bust was two years ago also in July. Nothing like seeing old US silver in the hole. Also managed a 1820 large cent and a sterling ring:



Looking forward to getting back there this week, obviously an old field and I have a feeling it is pretty much untouched.

Thanks for looking,
Steve

Pulling up Capped Bust coins in this heat is tremendous. Good luck on your return visit - I would get out there in the early morning hours. That coin would likely benefit from a short electrolysis cook if you wished considerate it.
