Capped bust half dollar

[Eastcoasthunter21]

Hello folks it?s been a minute since I?ve been here
I read most days but have not been hunting much
Today I went to a spot close to home
It?s colonial for sure the site war in use as
Early as 1600s
Lots of my funds come from here
Today I had a weak squeak on the Deus
It was at 10-12 inches
In soft clean dirt
1839 capped 1/2.
Needless to say I?m stoked
Thanks for looking east coast hunter

1839, same year as the Amistad rebellion. Fascinating history in hand.

Big congrats. Not many detectorists digging Capped Bust halves. Awesome!

Big congrats. Not many detectorists digging Capped Bust halves. Awesome!

Considering that they were used mainly as bank reserves and in bank to bank transactions, I don't believe there are many in the ground to be dug. Great find!
