1843 Seated Liberty Half Dime

[rmbutcher4]

This field keep producing some really cool stuff! Got out for a couple hours today and it started off extremely slow. Finding only a mangled old fork the plow must have hit. 10 minutes before calling it quits I pluck my 2nd 1940 wheatie in as many days. I thought to myself "at least I salvaged my hunt." As I was making my way back to the truck I came across a faint signal and thought about not even digging it but glad I did. Out came this beauty.

I wish I had one of those for every time I've heard "I was on my way back to the truck and I found this!" LOL

VERY nice!

HH!

Your cleaning method worked pretty good on this one Erik. Only tried it twice. Thanks again.

Hey Butcher, great score! I see on your profile you have two detectors. Were you using the minelab? How deep was you coin?

Thanks Mercury, I was using the Safari. I gave my Father the 250 when he showed interest in MDing after hunting his yard and finding 2 mercs. I found a 14K bracelet at a local ball field, sold it then bought the Minelab with my earnings. The half dime was about 4 inches down and like I said it was a very faint signal.

Great coin Butch!! I can confirm his "on the way back to the truck story" guys..We where both on our way to our cars when he dug the seated..Did you ever figure out what that other coin was you got yesterday?

If you are going to salvage a hunt that is a nice way to do it.
