Dug my oldest silver ever today.

[john37115]

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 ?

Great Recovery, That is one coin that I have never found yet! The rock thing looks like it might be
a Geode, just looks that way.

You're gettin' on back there Brother. That was a cool moment. I hope Don's video of the half dime find turned out good. I bet there's more where that came from.

Great find!! I'm still waiting on my first half dime. I agree wth the rock being natural and not influenced by man. 8)
