Today was a complete washout. So I had no work and my wife was babysitting a house full of kids so Sniffy exited stage right. I went back to my old faithful site with no real high hopes of finding much. This time I focused on the same area I found my first capped bust dime..Not 5 ft away from the same exact spot I found the other dime I got the very same signal at the base of a very large oak tree. This signal was very faint, but consistent. Penny/dime bouncing to Quarter. I was totally pumped, because I just knew it was a coin. Sure enough, 1836 Capped Bust Dime in as good condition as the last! I guess I can only find good stuff when it's pouring down raining. I also managed 3 buttons. One Pewter, one shank-less, and one with the thread still in the shank. Thanks for lookin!

Tasty! :D



(Rare dates: 1844, 1860-O, 1863, 1864, 1865, 1866, 1867, 1870-S, 1871-CC, 1872-CC, 1873-CC, 1874-CC, 1879-1881, 1885-S; Many scarce dates)
 
Great job on the killer Dime ! I dug a flat button this summer that still had the string to hold it to the coat too.

Now that is a beautiful site. :icon_thumleft: Nice one Sniffy. :headbang:
 
Nice return runback for a touchdown. All the beautiful cheerleaders are jumping up and down with their pom poms and your teammates are piling on top of you in the end zone. Sorry Sniffy, got a little dramatic there.

Thanks Mainer, this site "was" virgin... ;D
 
Wow. Seems like you've outdone yourself here :headbang: :headbang: Two busts within five feet.. Must be a great feeling to see that in your dirt :o Nice decision to hunt in the rain as opposed to being the baby-sitter sidekick

IT's pretty intriguing that the fibers lasted so long. I didn't clean the button in hopes that the thread will stay intact in the case.

Dude, I was blown away! I've been back to this same site a dozen times and it never leaves me empty handed...Not exactly a cob, but hey...I'm happy as a pickle in a jar.
