My son and I went out to a 1830 home in a neighboring town, and did a two hour hunt. Not much for the first hour or so, then a faint 40/42 on the XT70, under a old bush,on the edge of a stone wall, on a slope :tongue3: About 5" down, out pops this old lady,very worn, I almost thought it was a slug, you can clearly see the date, and in person you can see the "25 C". I did give it a nick with the digger (kinda glad it wasnt in uncerculated condition :-[)
My son (12) is kinda bummed, nothing yet for him. About ten minuetes later he shows me his cool little bell, he didnt think much of it, but I told him he won the day!

A little worn but she's a beauty. Still looking for any silver older than 1876 myself. :thumbsup:
 
That 1818 Capped Bust qwatta (quarter) is AWESOME! :thumbsup: You don't see too many of those Bust quarters being posted. :thumbsup:

That is a really nice find. Don't let your son get discouraged. The more you hunt the luckier you get.

That is a Great find!

Wow. And one of the earliest Capped Bust coins I've seen on here.


Too bad about the gash. Dig Carefully.
