It's been a few years since I'e posted any finds. Health problems, I'm not a spring chicken anymore. I'm making a comeback, so maybe I'll be posting more often. I bought a new XP Deus II detector and this is the second short hunt (short because I'm still very much out of shape). I went to one of my old fields, it was beans, when I got tired I started back to the car. I hit a nice sounding target, 85 both ways on the Deus. It ended up being a very ruff beat up 1829 capped bust half dime. I was able to see at home with a loop clearly a 9 on the end of the date, the top of lady Liberty's head and other tell tail things to get proper ID

Welcome back! I guess we all have some sort of war story- certainly won't bore you or anyone with mine, but seriously- Congrats for a great little coin!!
Thanks
 

Great find Treb!
I glad that your passion for detecting is still there and strong!
Get that new detector out there and dig it all up!
I missed all you guys, I'm on the road, tomorrow we are hunting a Rev War skirmish site!
