First draped bust half cent, wooohooo

[firefighter35]

Hey yall, i slapped that 10x14 excelorator coil on and watch out. Went to the park where i found the 1803 LC. Found 3 dollars in clad, 4 belt buckles and a first find for me. MY FIRST HALF CENT!!!! The half cent is pretty banged up on the front, cant get a date, but the back shows the leaves and half cent and the 1/200 fraction. This is a first for me and its all to the new coil. My camera batts wore out but give me alittle and i will post the pics. Im super flattered with this 250 and excelerator coil. I cant wait till i get a day off again and go back to that park. Thanks, Greg Horning UPDATE!!! pics are comin, lookin for the usb cable, but the 1/2 cent is a draped bust, (1800-1808) You can somewhat see the face and year, im thinkin it looks like 1802 or 1807, not sure yet, i have the coin soaking in olive oil. Hopefully i can get some detail out of it. The face is facing right and can see its a draped bust. Ok pics are up now. I also included the 2.92 cents in clad and the 4 buckles i found, along with a litle silver inscribed button. As well as the other junk i found, lol Thanks again, Greg Horning
