Lol, thank you!
 

The really good news is that you have access to this land that your family owns ,and you are gonna get better aquainted with your detector over time ! Great find ,and I really want to see what else you find on that land !
 

Happy for you big Time!!! I knew it would be just a matter of time you would find a prize but dang, how do you 'raise the bar' on a Capped Bust being your first coin???? The sky is the limit!! You are on a roll.....Congrats on history revealed!!!
 

The odds against a capped bust being your first MD coin find are about 5 million to one. That's an amazingly lucky find! Happy for you buddy.
 

Now that's a keeper:treasurechest::thumbsup:
 

Nothing like starting off at the top! Great find.
 

Wellllll, I'm going back out tomorrow with a couple of great Diggers!

No doubt you have a lot of new detecting buddies after posting a find like that and having access to a promising site. Good luck today.
 

Congrats on a spectacular find!

It took me 4 years and about 45,000 holes to find one.

Very well played sir.
 

damn, i thought my first coin of a 1804 1 duit was a cool one. You KILLED IT! amazing first coin, and now you gotta be hooked like a junkie for sure
 

Going to the top of the ladder so to speak in digging great silvers. It took me 40+yrs and untold holes to finally dig one. Congrats on the first of firsts, and sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it's going to be a bit of a slippery slid down the ladder with the next cion producing holes. Then again you may have that horse shoe well planted and the amazing luck will continue.
 

Wow beuuuuuty the conditions incredible that's a coin I would probly pay to have certified and slabbed
 

Nice! Decent condition as well. They are usually quite worn. Hunt that spot well.
 

Congrats on a great find. Capped bust are one of my favorite coins.
