Digstock a bust? Maybe, but the drive home was a Draped Bust!

[BigWaveDave]

Tough sledding for me at Digstock, not too much to brag about. I made sure to leave early Monday, hoping to door knock on the way home. It occurred to me that my bro in law has given me an open permission, but he’s 2 hours from home.
Going right through his town, I hit him up.
Glad I did!
BUCKET LISTER!!!!
My first ever, and my oldest…
Draped Bust Half Cent! 1800-1808
Out of the hole I swear it read 1800, but since it dried out and gentle dry tooth brush, the date is about gone…. But I’ll take it!

Thanks for looking!

Well deserved my friend! Awesome find and congratz on scratching off a bucket list item!! I was impressed with your dedication to the hobby, getting up early on registration day to hit a local park, for instance. You got it going on man.

Love the bucket lister, Dave. I've been lucky enough to find a few, and each time I did the details just crumbled off as soon as it came out of the ground.
