4 brittish coppers, 3 buttons, and a very rare silver coin!

[Dr Plugs]

Got out today to do some swinging with a buddy. The day started off pretty good, we headed to a permission we got back in the summer. The last time we were there it was about 100 degrees and the alfalfa was high. I managed to find a brittish copper and a tombac button that day.

Today it was perfect, I found another brittish, my buddy got a cap bust large cent and a 1895 indian head penny. We decided to do some door knocking and got another permission in the same valley. The old map showed a house somewhere in the field. All we found was can slaw, it was terrible, as we were heading back to the truck, my buddy noticed a small pasture along the crick that was perfect for swinging.

So we headed down to check it out, and man I'm glad we did! My buddy pulled a cap bust half cent, then I pulled a brittish copper a few mins later, then I got a faint signal on the deus and dug, when I popped the plug I seen about 1/4 of the coin and my first thought was I just found a 1 reale, then I popped the dirt off and it took my breath. A 1804 draped bust dime! I let out a holler and we celebrated. I ended up with 2 more brittish coppers and my buddy got another. What a day!
I also dug 3 buttons.

I'm no expert on coin grading but I think she looks beautiful for being 220 years old, I going to send it off to be graded, very low mintage on this one, I believe just over 8,000.

Way to go on the 1804 dime! Killer find

 

[I'mJoshin-PA]

Wow what a find! That coin is very near the top of my bucket list! Way to go!

Congrats one the coppers and the really nice silver.
It being the 13 star the value is less than the 14 star. It's a winner 🏆 🥇

 

[devldog]

What a Save on the beautiful silver coin. Well Done!

 

[Jeff H]

"WOW" doesn't cover it. That was an epic hunt !

 

[mikefromIllinois]

Some really nice coins, especially the dime. Congrats.

 

[Bamasteve]

Outstanding finds, congrats!

My redbook shows that is a pretty rare coin. Only 8265 made. I think it would grade VG8-F-12. Book shows $7500-$12,500 if my grading is correct. An epic find!

I don't know how banners work anymore, but I have no doubt this coin will be up there! Unbelievable find. Congrats!
