This find will be in my best silver finds but since you asked, found together lying on top of the ground within 6 inches of each other in a tilled field, same farm that my 1793 Half Cent was found on the surface after tilling.

Rare in my parts but I do have a cut piece of a half.

Site was Early French & British, American showing up was a surprise.

Here you go. Don't know where it came from. I traded for it.

Heres a couple from the coin collection Kirk. I have not dug one up to this point. I hope to change that next year. It's a sin what somebody did to this 1829 dime

Here's my two Capped Busts: An 1814 holed Capped Bust Dime found on New Year's Day 2006 in a passive town park and an 1829 Capped Bust Half Dime found in the woods in April of this year.

My oldest yet, yall have seen it b-4, found not 50 ft off hwy 6 in Hearne Texas, The place was void of signals I belive it was just a lucky find the ground was hard there so probaly dident sink much over the 150 yrs or so, or could of been moved there when the highway was built. Great post Thanks Kirk for giving me the oppurtunity to show it agien

I will toss in my only capped bust find to date. 1821 Dime found on the site of an old church established in 1887.

 

[skierbob]

I've found 5 capped bust silvers in my coinshooting career.

This first piece is a half dime found in a church yard in Ardmore, PA. It was right on top of the ground.



The next piece is also a half dime. It was found on the side of a hill off of Reservoir Rd. in Philly. It was also right on top of the ground.



The next piece is a dime found in bare dirt behind the backstop of a ballfield in Burholme Park in NE Philly. It was an inch in the ground.



I have also found an 1820 dime, which was in the same hole with an indian head penny and a 2 cent piece and an 1822 half dollar, which was found together with a 1 reale peice and a half reale piece. I can't show you pictures of these because I traded those coins for an 1890-s double eagle a few years ago.

Kirk,

Here is my contribution...found at a construction site down town, which was also the former site of a CW campground.

 

[diggerfororo]

I don't have many left or pix of the ones I have found but here is a couple. The first is a 1827 half dime that was found in a CW site in Mo. The second is a half that was found at a camp site on the Missouri river.

The pics don't do them justice though.

This is my only capped bust find.
I found this Halfdime 5 inches deep in a harvested corn field where a farmstead stood in 1870.

 

[Old Dog]

I'm still looking,.... they are around here somewhere.

Merry Christmas Kirk,
Thanks for all the chuckles this year

Here is the one I have found so far. I nearly soiled myself when I found this one, I left the site immediately due to being in shock and knowing there was little to no chance of topping that find for the day. It had long been a dream of mine to find a capped coin, but I always thought it would be a dime or half-dime. It was found at 1 1/2 - 2 inches deep a foot away from a recently paved parking lot. I fully expected a newer quarter and when I flipped out the dirt the half rolled out with the eagle facing up. The site is a public place and it appears a small camp was made there for a short period of time, as I found a flower button there from the 1830's - 1840's as well as a barrel band from a musket and a few misc. items in a small area.

Have a happy new metal detecting year!

Steve

My buddy found this one on Thanksgiving day. Plowed field, which yielded 7 halves, and 3 quarters. Found from 1 inch down to 7 inches. They were in an area maybe 1000 sq. ft area. No other coins were found.
