My Best Find of the Year!!!

[nova treasure]

I Started off this Morning reading the finds post here on Tnet getting adrenaline pumping to go try my own Detecting site. I get the day going by digging iron and nails and than I finally get a good positive signal at about 5 inches and dig my first coin of the day, which is a 1860 Indian head. I am feeling really good about the day and dig some more iron and finally get another signal that I am thinking is a button, but at about 4 inches comes a decorative pin as i call them that has the letter C on it. It is very thin but nice to add to the collection. I get to hunting for about another hour not finding much, so I move on out toward a soft spot in the ground that I figure was once where a tree stood. So I get to detecting around the area hitting square nails,finding glass,pottery pieces and was hoping something good was in the area. I had no clue that it was getting ready to be my Best find of the Year, thus far. I was getting a low signal that seemed like iron but on the cross swing it also sounded good, so I dug my plug and out pops another square nail, but to the corner I see something silver and so I fan away alittle more dirt and out Comes my First 1837 Capped Bust Dime ever!!! I see that with my pinpointing I got more centered on the nail and I caught the coin with my digger by the date, other than where I hit it, the Coin is in Beautiful Condition. I was feeling sick because of the nick, but the Enjoyment of me finding such a Beautiful piece of our History is always overwhelming for me. I took a break, to say a few Hallelujahs and just enjoy the moment. I got back to business tightening up on my Swinging patterns and after about 30 minutes I dug this Awesome Lock under a big Root and you can bet that I made my plugs bigger the rest of the day, not taking the chance of hitting another target. I finally called it a day and will be Detecting this Spot again Very Soon.

Holy Toledo Nova, what a extremely rare piece of coinage to unearth. The small nick does not look bad.
It's towards the bottom and not smack dab in the center. I hope to see this on the banner.
