Went out today for a small hunt. I been to this old church dated 1840 and had found some IH's. So I decided to go back there and try it again. Today I went out back into the woods some because to ground is so dry. The bugs was so bad bet I used a half can of off. I hunted for a hour and found lots of shot gun shells and then this old lady showed her face to me. I could not beleive my eyes when I saw her. After letting her soak for a couple of hours and she has ben around for a while. She is worn and thin but she is mine a 1827 bust dime the oldest coin that I have ever found. The pics isn't the greatest but I did add them. Now I am wanting to get back out and see what else if there.....Matt

congrats on your oldest coin :icon_thumleft:
 

Great find! Try using the macro setting for close up picures. WTG on that bust dime!
 

My camera dose not have a macro setting it has a closeup setting this is how the pics turns out all the time. One of these days I am going to buy a better camera. Maybe next year at tax refund time. Thanks to all.....Matt
