1836 Capped Bust Dime !!

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Today I met up with two friends for a little metal detecting. We were way off the beaten path exploring various cellar holes with out much luck ( for me anyway ) They each found Indian Head Cent's. I was not finding even one keeper item of anykind. We decided to head back home and on a whim we decided to hunt an old abandoned house that was on the way. A few wheat Cents were showing up when I got a really deep, silver sounding signal. About 10" down I saw the disc in the dirt and out comes my first Capped Bust Dime, 1836 !! The front is not too bad but the reverse is worn almost smooth. I guess that I can take Capped bust of the list of things to find, not that I wouldnt mind finding more
My only other keeper was a 1942 Wheat Cent.

Thank You for the replies!

The silver came at a good time too. My friends were pokin' me a little that they had Indians and I had nothing. The pokin' stopped when she popped out
I am looking forward to hunting with them again.
