Capped Bust, Connecticut, and 2 Large

[SouthJerseyJim]

Headed out with Ben on what was suppose to be a prospect mission of a few different areas. First spot didn't look very good and it was tight to detect. The second spot had an olllld house on it with a bunch of acres of woods behind it. We walked it first for a bit and said what the heck lets bring our machines out. The ground has thawed and the snow was gone. My very first signal was an 1820 Capped bust dime! I told Ben I think this spot is going to work out good. Spent a few areas scouring around huge vines and cedar trees and managed my first Connecticut Copper about an inch in the ground. Next was a beatiful 1806 Large cent. I also had found a toasty probably KG copper but it was too far gone too tell. The Jews harp was another welcome find as was the musket ball. My button vacuum T2 wasnt set for button kill today only 2 tombacs and a 4 holer. IT did however sniff out an awesome silver and some great coppers! Mission was a success Ben and more trips are needed back there to pull some more goodies. Thanks for the invite! Ben managed a nice KGII and a mystery copper, a button and a musketball.

The "R" is visible. Some how it cleaned itself overnight . Well at least it has an identity, it would have bothered the heck out of me . Thanks Don and Don for the ID's

Great job finding the site - awesome looking finds! Don't see many capped bust dimes posted.

Sometimes it takes the coin to clean itself to see the needed details, amazing how that happens, well glad you no longer will have that doubt about being a k.3 or not.

Nice digs Jim

Never got a Capped dime..

As soon as i get to a cellar and realize it has been hit good i head for the brush and spots i know nobody has hit..

It is coming down to that seeing most are cherry picked..

Sweet silver girl, and she is American to boot. Great day for the both of you. Looking forward to my return trip to CT where I grew up. I know where there are many of foundations. Maybe a few CT coppers await...
