Dug my oldest silver ever today.

Got an 1833 Capped Bust half dime today at a new old homesite. No signs of the old house other than a dense iron field. These are the kind of sites I live to hunt.
The half dime was within 5 minutes it was actually the first solid signal I got and the first hole I dug. I was using the little Musketeer Colt of all machines. Yippee

Check out the weird piece of flintrock I dug looks like a spoon. You can see where the rock has been chipped away to for the shape. Wonder if this is an indian artifact of some sort ?

That's a great oldie! If there's one that old there, there's gotta be more!
