1859 O Yeah!

[Sooper Dave]

I hit a fresh construction site where they just cleared off a section of woods. This area is known to have some major Civil War camps all around. The place is really trashy but to my surprise the first good target I got was a tiny silver coin. After a little splash of water I could see I had dug an 1859 O Seated Half Dime. I couldn't have asked for a better start to a new site. The coin has great details but has been damaged from the heavy equipment. I found a few bullets and my last target was a nice piece of an iron spur. I'm happy to save a few more relics from the dozer and I am waiting for them to clear of some more areas to hunt.

Good on you for rescuing the relics before they are gone. Damaged or not a stellar find. Stay on it and beat the dozers that is our job.

How deep was the Half Dime?

It was only down about 2" on a construction site that had a few inches scraped off the surface.

So do you ask at construction sites or just go for it? I get all NOs when I ask.

If they're is no trespassing signs I'm on it like white on rice
