After doing some research found a spot where a wealthy family had a house in the early to mid 1800s. There was a school house in the same area and it has been moved a bunch of times due to flooding but is still standing today. Pretty sure I found where the house was due to the square nails and a couple of relics. Hit it twice with the CTX and 17 inch coil to try and cover a lot of ground and find where all the nails are then went back over it with the nox and standard coil and popped this out of a plug. Unfortunately pretty worn but that's ok

Very nice! I would have no problem finding a worn Half Dime and it seems that it was common practice to "hole" them back in the day.
What part of the country are you in?
 
Makes since for them to be holed they are so small if you drop one good luck finding it
