1835 Capped Bust Half Dime!!! She's a Petite little thing but a real beauty

I went in to the woods again without my camera I rushed out the door for a two hour hunt before dinner to a nearby one room schoolhouse site and didn't realize til i was on site that the camera had gotten left behind. The last time i did that i missed photographing an 1837 Large cent coming out. This evening i swore if i got a solid 79 vdi reading that I'd mark it and run home for my camera.
I've pounded this site several times without even an Indian head to show for my time and i figure it must have already been detected hard. I went tonight thinking there was surely an elusive Indian head around somewhere! Well,no I.H. but this little sweetheart makes up for the times I've been skunked here.The Indian head in the first couple pics is to show how tiny this coin is.
I didn't get a picture but I'll never forget what this little piece of silver looked like laying in the spoil pile. I thought it may be a 3 cent piece til i saw that eagle!! Now it's time to really slow down and work this site over. Thanks for havin a look!! whooo hooo!!!!!!

Gotta be one of the best coins I have seen in a LONG time. Those things are usually all worn out. Looks like it was dropped right around 1835. Amazing and I'm jealous.

It's amazing how some of these old school sites are. No significant digs, and then BAMM! You nail yourself a great coin.

That is one beautiful little coin there. It's hard to believe how small they are, and how easily they could have been lost!

Congrats on a great find!
