1830 Capped Half Dime bucketlister

[toasted]

The detecting gods were with me again tonight after a rough start. Went back to see if I could find another cob but my scoop handle broke on my second target Figured it was pay back for last nights good luck. I decided to paddle to another area Ive never hunted were I could detect in ankle deep water. Only keeper was my first ever Capped Bust half dime. and only my second capped bust ever.

Well you have me beat by a large margin on cobs (I have 2) and seated silver (I have 4), but at least I'm right there with you on capped bust silver. I have an 1827 dime and I also have an 1830 half dime. And I'm sure I got you on draped bust silver with two dimes. But who's keeping score anyway

Congrats, on the back to back bucket listers

Thanks. Ive probably got more cobs than most anyone outside of the most seasoned SE Va hunters. My bucketlist is getting smaller and smaller but Id really like to get a colonial gold coin or an early hammered or milled English silver but having found a tree shilling, Im cool if I never get them. I dont forsee getting an early US silver as I have a hard time even finding early US coppers

Seems to be a recent run of these coins- Congrats!

She's dirty and grungy, worn and faded.
I'd still be proud and honored to take her home to meet the parents!
Kudos!

Wow! Great two hunts in a row for awesome old silver! Big congrats on your first Capped Bust Half Dime! I lucked up on an 1830 half dime this week as well. Crazy how big a thrill it is to find such a tiny coin. Keep digging that old silver!
