I recently re-acquired permission to hunt a late 1700s house that I had been to numerous times with old machines (about 10 years ago).

Made a few trips there this summer and found around 10 IH's, V nickels, buffaloes, and mercs but nothing super old. Yesterday I got a faint signal in the front yard under a big tree and out popped this 1832 capped bust half dime. First capped coin, first half dime, and oldest U.S. silver for me! This thing is tiny!!!

Was it difficult to retrieve because of the tree roots?
