Capped bust goodness.

RelicDude · Jul 11, 2014

Today I decided to head back to an old toll rd I Found last year. It's a good two mile hike up a mountain so I was hoping it would be worth it. I was detecting around an old huge maple tree where the trail forks. When I dug up a few nails and then this beauty of a 1832 capped bust popped out of the ground. It's a coin I never thought I would find. It's suprising more of these didn't get lost, this coin is tiny. I'd say it was worth the hike up the mountain today. Thanks for looking -Justin

Damn thats a nice coin, I have always liked those capped bust coins. Congrats!!

Thank you every one. This coin is beautiful. I bever thought I would find one. I was told by a few in the club I belong to that your more likely to dig reales then capped silvers. After six years of digging I have yet to dig a reale.
