BIG CAPPED SILVER! I'm still in dis-belief

Here are my finds from 9-30-2015. Sorry for the time delay but I work 12 hour days and swing when I'm not working. This was the second day at this new site and it was a day of finds we dream about! It started with a King, Carolus IIII to be exact (1797), then another flying eagle (1858). This is my 3rd Eagle and Spanish Silver. Along the way I managed a couple of Indians. At this point I was having a Stellar day, and little did I know the BEST was yet to come. I got a great 11/45-46 shallow signal and thinking it might be something "special" I popped out my phone and recorded finding my First ever Seated Quarter! It wasn't long and I got a weird 17-18/41-42 high for ferrous numbers eventually it fell to 15/41-42 and again I filmed my First Field 2 Cent find. By now I was on cloud nine with Spanish Silver, My first Seated Quarter, another Flying Eagle, Indians and a 2 center and still the "Mac Daddy" was yet to come!

I got another killer 11/45-46 that dropped to an 8-9/41,42 on the 90 and I was baffled, I know Spanish Silver is not 90% and the numbers vary from what I am used to seeing so I thought it might be yet another Spanish Silver or Brass ie; Farm Junk. When I turned over the plug I about fell over, because I knew I had just Dug my First Field, Big Silver! It took until I got home and rinsed it off to grasp the magnitude of what I had just found, My First Capped Bust Coin Ever and Big Silver Capped at that!! Besides the tarnished blacken gunk on it, it has Stunning Crisp Detail! This is now my Oldest American Silver. 9/30/2015 What a day, I hope everyone can experience a day like I did. Thanks for looking.

BANNER finds in my book. nice work on the Reale, and Seated, but that Bust Half is the bee's knees! way to go!

thanks for the kind words. That is an AMAZING CLOVIS you found as well, I have a beautiful pinkish colored Clovis, it's only about 2 inches long. My biggest piece is a Stemmed Lance just at 4 inches, which is pretty awesome for a plowed field find here in SW Ohio. Congrats to you!

Wow what an incredible assortment of coins buddy. Huge congrats on a bunch of coins that everybody would love to find. Dying to find a capped bust silver

Thanks George, I really appreciate that coming from a master like yourself! You just never know when one will pop out of the plug! In fact you never know when you will see it happen on consecutive days. I took my friend Bell-two and his wife back the next day and he found an 1825 Capped Bust Half. He has great videos of his hunts posted on youtube, #176 I believe is the one with his capped bust find!

That was really great of you to take them to such a awesome site.
What is his youtube chanel?
Love to see the hunt.
Congrats again.
That is definitely a banner hunt in my book..
Did you find any buttons to go with them old coins?

George, Here is the exact link for the hunt when Tony found his Capped Bust. George we did find a few buttons, I found my first Train button, it says "The Knocker" and I did find a 1700s Tomback button. The others were assorted flat buttons.

Awesome bust half!! It doesn't get much better than that This April I dug a 1824 bust half in a silver spill with a 1 reale and 2 reale.... it's a feeling I will never forget. Sweet find and looking forward to seeing what else you get there.
