Beautiful Little "Capped Bust"
This morning I went to a site that I pounded for a couple years and was a good one for anything from King George's to Early Year Large Cents.
The site is rather large for a wooded homestead and today I concentrated on front side of the property and was rewarded with my first silver from the site. I was not sure it was a coin, it was almost a warbler type of tone on the detector and it was shallow. I expected perhaps button but sure did not expect to see the little round silver piece appear.
Any Capped Bust coin is a great find and I really enjoyed that this was a nice one and a Half Dime to boot! The 1832 was not one of the higher mintage years so another bit of satisfaction. I noticed on Coinfacts.com site that there are fourteen varieties of the 1832, ranging from Very Common to Extremely Rare. I have no idea which variety I have but will pursue trying to find out.
After I found the Half Dime I got another good diggable reading nearby, but the good turned to big iron reading real quick, and I was rewarded with the biggest log splitter (over 9 inches in length) I have found to date.
So I was going to title the post Big Iron and Small Silver, but went with the coin only.

congrats 
She's a beauty, my only capped bust is in sad shape, can barely make out the 1823 date. Congrats!!!! 
Those pulltab tones are Sweet, Half Dime tones once you get deep into the woods. 
I can see the scratch marks on the obverse.
Congrats and thanks for the site pics!
