After 44 years of detecting I finally got BUSTED

[MackDog]

Had a bad week, someone broke into my car stole 2 coils, 2 pin pointers, digging tools and work items. Then last night had to hold over for a sixteen hour shift so I couldn't go on the club hunt today. So me and my buddy Bryan decide to go hit an old park today. After about an hour I get this signal on the V3i good green freq from 3 different angles and a red one from the side. I dig down 5-6" and see a silver coin standing straight up and down in between some roots. I slowly work it out and see it's not a Barber or Merc. So Bryan sprays it off for me and it's a 1837 CAPPED BUST>. My first ever, never did I think I would get one from a park in Spokane. Later on got another solid signal at 9" dug up a 1898 Barber and I felt let down. Oh well hopefully life is changing for the better. Happy Easter to all of you or Happy Hunting

That is really nice and coming from your area, I'd say that it would be very rare to find out there. Congrats.

I guess the excitement of your finds are causing some confusion. That sure looks like an 1836 to me.
Sorry to hear about those dirty stinking thieves, but you definitely had a good hunt.
Congratulations

Sorry to hear about your gear, that really sucks. Maybe finding your first capped is a good sign that things are gonna get better.

Wow! That's a huge bucket list coin there. Being out west even makes it more memorable. My condolences for you gear being ripped off. I wish the thieves nothing but, justice. What comes around goes around. Congrats on a huge coin and that so so Barber.

Mack, sorry to hear about your bad week but major kudos to you on your outstanding finds.

Congrats on your first bust coin- quite a beauty at that! Don't see many west-coasters posting those- I'd say that's definitely a pretty rare find!
