Hello all, :hello:

I was at a big cook out/barbecue and a friend had lost his wedding band. :icon_scratch:

I said I would find it.... :dontknow:

Lost in the mud at the time the hay and mud that was put down was pushed around by a bulldozer. :icon_scratch:

I was looking for his lost wedding band we were looking around for about 1 hr and not finding his ring. :dontknow:

Hopes are getting less and got I get a good signal in the silver dime range right in the road. :hello2:

I thought not likely a big tungsten band but maybe. :icon_scratch:

So I dig it up and my friend and his wife are watching me. I'm holding it my hand I think it can't be anything good that small. Likely a piece of a pulltab.... :P I wipe away some dirt and it whipped clean like silver.

Then it hit me, is this a seated half dime...

I say to my friends, it is omg its a half dime from the 1800's. :laughing9:

We all are like Holy crap !! :laughing7:

Its in good shape and has some detail. However it has some black tone on it but that's ok. :dontknow:

I have found my first Silver Seated Half Dime turned out to be 1850 !!

This also ends a long drought of silver... :thumbsup:

Maybe my oldest coin to date too.

WHOOO HOOOO !!!

Here are some pictures !!

Keep @ it and HH!!
