1827 capped bust dime the oldest coin i have ever dug now with video

diggin tennessee · Jan 27, 2011

i got my pro pointer back from the repair shop today and thought i should go out and make sure it was back to working order (any excuse to get out of the house and go dirt diggin). i ended up at the same church where i found my first silver last saturday and started diggin a bunch of square nails and was fixing to call it a day when i got this wonderfull tone about 8 inches down. after diggin the plug, i found this beauty sitting in the bottom of the hole...an 1827 capped bust dime!!!
WOOO HOOOO!!!! it was a good day. and yes dave, i got the whole dig on video!! on the video it shows how nervous i got, i don't even remember rubbing the dime

Oh man, I'm sure that skipped a heart beat or two when you unearthed it. That's one pretty little girl.

That is one awesome find and it is in excellent condition! It looks like America's Heartland has been giving up the early US silver coins lately!

Superior specimen! I am longing to dig a Capped Bust. Can only dream of finding one of that high a quality.

Excellent find!
