FINALLY!!!! FRESH FROM THE DIRT........HALF DIME AND INDIAN HEAD!!

[JJS NEW ENGLAND]

I FINALLY GOT MY 11 INCH DD COIL IN AND BOY DOES IT ADD DEPTH TO MY BH LEGACY 3300. LAST WEEK I PURCHASED A HALF DIME ON AN ONLINE AUCTION. IT WAS AN 1853 WITH NO ARROWS. I FIGURED I WOULD NEVER DIG ONE. WELL TODAY AT 10 INCHES POPPED OUT AN 1853 WITH ARROWS. MY HEART ALMOST STOPPED. THEN 10 MINUTES LATER A NICE 1869 INDIAN HEAD PENNY AT 9 INCHES EASY. THESE ARE THE PICS OF THEM WITH A QUICK SWIPE OF THE FINGER. NO CLEANING DONE YET. I WAS IN A SLUMP FOR NICE COINS FOR SOME TIME , BUT NOT ANYMORE. NOW, I HAVE TO HIT ALL MY OLD SPOTS TO GET AT THE DEEPER TARGETS. THIS SPOT WE HIT TODAY HAS HAD MANY HOURS PUT INTO IT. HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HH TO ALL

Thats a very nice half dime you found there. And your 1869 IH is a semi-key date. In good condition, the book says its worth $90.00!. Very nice find.
