Capped bust found! After 7 years of searching!

[greg1186]

I got out with my detecting team, the copperheads over the weekend. We got an invite from brotherhood metal detecting group to hit a colonial farm field they received permission at. Lots of nice coins and relics came out. As the title mentions, I finally dug a capped bust and the condition is great!! 1833 half dime. Capped bust is my fave US pattern. Finally dug one after 7 years! You can watch a live video of it on our YouTube channel: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCdoZHbtvrqo4VBjlRr_eJwA

Congrats on the capped bust. 7 yrs. isn't so bad, I have been looking for 48yrs. and still have not found one. Some day maybe.

Awesome find! I've been at it for over 10 years and still haven't pulled anything older than a buffalo nickle. I need to get out and get some permissions this year. Congrats!

Nice!! Very nice... an excellent specimen... makes one wonder how long that unit has been waiting there for you to release it from the ground. Congrats on your first CB, I’m still looking! Been seven years myself...Ddf.

Congratulations on your first capped bust! Its a pretty amazing feeling when you see one of those poking out of the ground. Outstanding find!

Congratulations on a real beauty. It took me 17.5 years to find mine. It is funny, the capped bust half dime was a real rare item for years and now they are popping up all over the place.

I’m glad you got yours. Keep swingin.
