Found this baby this afternoon, sure made my day! Very worn but these older coins don't come around to often here in Illinois.

SWEET FIND, I FOUND THIS 1837 THIS SPRING---CONGRADS--------------------------FINDING A BUST SILVER REALLY GETS MY HEART PUMPING---IM SURE YOURS WAS TO !

 

[Helix]

Yeah Im still stoked! I don't know what its but I seem to find more of the early pioneer coins and objects from the 1830's and 40's. Im in Norther Illinois and as we all know Chicago was a major point for them to head west! I basically find that point in time very interesting, so thats what I zero in on, the spots I want to hunt!

Very nice.

Great coin. I have yet to get a capped....... or half dime...... or two center ........ or three center..........I better get some rest and go hunting tomorrow.

Very cool, I'm still looking for a seated, anyway congrats.

GREAT find for Illinois! Took me 20 years to find my first Capped. Then dug a second one less than 2 years later.

Cheers,

Buck

Nice find.
It actually looks better than my first Capped bust..mine was holed too.

This should make you feel better.
Haha.. now that's worn.

Nice old silver! It's amazing the date is so readable!

Well, now I haven't been to a BARBER shop ever, did find an Indian Head, found plenty halves & SLQ's in my 33 years swinging. And I've not touched a "seat", and a capped bust is beyond my comprehension!

I was never lucky playing poker either! But consider myself very lucky = 22 straight silver dimes one time, oh that very sweet whisper of deep treasure

I congratulate you! Yeah, envy you too! But this find made your day a remarkable one! Keep swinging

 

[rlc1940]

Yeah! I call that deep whisper a "lonely sound...when you hear it, you know! I found one seated half years ago, kinda let the capped bust slide off my list, they're so elusive, lo! Probably have the Big One if one ever shower up in a plug!

 

[GatorBoy]

I still can't get over the fact that an 1837 Capped Bust half dollar was my very first silver find.
It was my first non clad find with a detector period.
Reading everyone's responces makes me feel even luckier.

Congratulations on your find again.
