Nice finds I hope you have more good luck and if you do find somthing nice, you might want to share it with the Church as a thankyou for letting you metal detect and who knows, mabe the Pastor will give you permission to detect the side yard where they had all their picnics in the shade. Lots of goodies over there. HH and keep us posted.

What should I say that I haven't said already

Nice 1813 Bust Half. You are lucky to have a place like that to hunt with all the old coins.
I had better luck in silver mode on Indian Head Cents. Got a better tone. You would think there would be a gold coin to be found on an old Church site like that.

Awsome find on the 50 cent piece!!!!!! WOW.
Nominate for Banner.
Best of luck.

Here is a auction site that has the different varieites for that year and you should be able to compare their photos to your coin and come up with a variety.
I used this site to get the varieties of the two I found early this year. Seems like the key to IDing them is the alignment and spacing comparing the banner and letter in E PLURIBUS UNUM with the letters above. Also of course spacing on the date and distances between features.
