Well guys I had a awesome hunt this morning and got myself 2 first. I went to a spot full on iron (of course) mixed in with white shells, so I decided to put the 6” on the 800 and run it at 7 recovery speed. Well it worked out great because I got my first Seated Half Dime a 1840 O Seated Half Dime!! I was freaking out. Then getting very tired from the shells, falsing and roots I hit a sweet signal and got my first J Hook. The Lord shine upon me today :)

It’s so hard to get to I was always worried about the front spoiler on my truck...well not anymore!!! Lol IMG_1972.webp

Worth every penny. Thanks for looking and sharing my happy moment [emoji1317]

Wow oh wow a seated half dime, you da man. To me a find like that would be a near second to a gold coin!!
I am puzzled though, what is the prized j hook? What was it for?

Also have seen a photo of you before wearing the Indian head shirt. If it's for luck it sure does work. Again, huge congratulations to you truth, you work so very hard for your finds!!


I really do appreciate that a addictive personality sure does help. The J hook was on the soldiers backpack that kept it closed
 

Tru, Tru, Truth! You can't make a J-hook into a bucket lister! Now that half dime definitely qualifies :thumbsup:
 

Thanks Possum if you can go in a couple of hours I wanna bring you there.

Oh I remember lol View attachment 1682495View attachment 1682496

I put the 2005 Buick through some stuff , but don't think it could handle those ruts .

I always said when I get a New or Used (most likely ) "I'd only have it 'Primed' cause of where i'd take it."

Until then ill get parking tickets .LOL

Awesome J Hook, was about to toss mine (I’m new to the East Coast and hunting civil war relics) a buddy told me what it was and I was glad I didn’t :)

And the dime is a beauty as well!

A couple of years ago I would’ve tossed it myself but from watching YouTube videos I quickly learned but never FYI e in my 6 years of hunting. So when I saw it now I was in awww lol

My Seated Half Dime blew my mind I’ve gotten 2 Capped half dimes before and half reals but that Seated has always eluted me I’ve only foundone seated dime so the Seated Half dime was a extra bonus. I saw the small seated and it went immediately in my mouth lol
 

Hi Truth Take care driving home when find a seated half dollar your old ford cattle truck may get T-boned by a Pelican . TP
