3 years and 15 minutes of hunting today. A cap bust halfdime

I have hunted and hunted my property for close to 3 years. From finding my first flat button to my 1899 Indian head penny. Knew there had to be older coins. Today I dug a jumpy signal 40-70s found a square nail checked the hole nothing but there a bit of loose dirt to the right of my hole saying high 80’s to 90 that wasn’t there before. Turned on the pinpointer found a round coin thought a small button or another penny it wasn’t. I saw the bird and shield on the back. 1835 cap bust halfdime I am beyond excited. What makes digging all that trash worth it.

What an incredible little coin! I appreciate having to work hard and finding great coins hidden by trash, as, let's face it, most of the pure, obvious coin signals are gone- Congrats!
