Finally!! Capped Bust

umrgolf · Jan 20, 2011

Wednesday, January 19

Matt talked me into going on one last hunt with him yesterday before I left, and thanks to him, I now have my first capped bust coin :headbang:

As many holes as I've dug in SC, NY, VA, MO, and AR in the last 4 years, its really incredible that I finally got one in Arkansas on the last hunt I'll have for over a year.

If you saw the post from this last weekend, you'll remember that Matt brought me out to this site on Friday.

http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,377213.0.html

Over the last 8-10 years, this spot has given up 30+ silver coins, all pre-1855.

I was able to manage an 1850 halfdime and the gold bar on Friday and yesterday I scored the 1830 halfdime. It was such an amazing feeling, I think my hands shook for 30 minutes :laughing7:

Most guys would probably not be kind enough to have me come out to a spot like this, so I'm very grateful Matt. Thanks a million :notworthy:

Short video of the coin

Unknown brass, piece on left has a "C" still visible :dontknow:

I think the soldier who had the center Enfield bullet was missing his wife :laughing9:

Possibly the same guy got ahold of this piece of lead ::)

Odd looking bullet Post-war?

All of yesterday's (non-ferrous) finds

Finds from both Friday and yesterday

WTG Jeff!!! What a coincidence that I found a 1830 half dime at a CS site last Fall. My coin saw more circulation than yours-lots of trading went on here in Tennessee-LOL. You guys had a great day. Those F75s will get it done at "hunted out" sites. Have a safe year in Europe and check in on Tnet from time to time. Stay safe, Quindy.

Big Congrat's to ya!!! I remember arguing with my Sister when I showed her my 1833 Capped from Antietam....The only thing she said was; "well wouldn't that be a nickle then" :tongue3:
