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.

You had to go a full weekend without metal detecting? You could go a few weekends and still be OK on your copper count

I've actually taken most of the last two weeks off, watching World Cup.
I brought the SE up to Richmond, and was drooling at all the sites the whole way once we left 7, but didn't have enough time once we arrived to kill the kegs and uncover the coppers.
Did manage to have a good conversation with the bride's father about dowsing, so maybe I'll get to some sites up there one of these days after all...

In the meantime, may you get a VT copper and a KGII in the same hole...

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.
Bust beat Bullies everytime! Ha Haaaaaaaaaaa

A-w-e-s-o-m-e! I'd take that coin in any condition - yours is at least readable in all the important areas. Nice detecting for such a deep signal.
