1St Time Out in a month - Nice Half Cent!!

[MonkeyBoy]

We finally had enough melting to allow some digging here in Northern Virginia. I went out for a little bit, just pick a random spot I have wanted to hunt for awhile and... not too bad!! Dug 5 buttons, fired musket ball, flatten and cut bullet and a pretty nice 1809 Half Cent. I'll be working this spot hard in the coming weeks... I only hunted a spot about 40' by 60'... so there is promise it will produce some nice relics!!

Wish I would have been out there with you! Nice digs. I love those flat buttons. They are one of my favorite things to dig. As for the half cent...you bum! You always seem to pop that one awesome relic out of the ground every time.

Nice going on the Half Cent! I only found one...nearly 2 years ago, also an 1809. I saw another one posted a few days ago. It seems that you don't see half cents posted often, and then a bunch appear at once!
