MY FIRST CAPPED BUST!!

[CKaufman]

After 2 months or so doing research in the library and looking at two old maps of my county (1798 & 1876)and not to metion countless hours searching along the river I've finally hit pay dirt. today was perfect to be outside after above average snow, ice, and cold temps this year. found @4-5 inches.

Just wondering if any of you think I'm not getting enough depth to possibly reach what could be even deeper. I found a bunch of large iron and copper frags deeper than 6 inches but I'm afraid the ace 250 just doesn't go deep enough for a site this old.

You found this with an ACE 250, WoW great job !!?? Don't worry about depth yet, hunt everywhere with a normal coil first. When you have no where else to go... Hunt for the deep stuff.

That's a beautiful find and in incredible condition

Looks like it would be about an EF40 AND you have the LARGE DATE variety, which according to PCGS in EF40 would go for about $650

HH,

I don't know how many times I have to say this. If you send in dug coins they will most likely come back in a body bag. Labled "Environmentally Damaged, Improperly Cleaned or Dug". You have very slim chance of getting a grade out of it. They may say all I said before and give it EF details or something but. PCGS not a chance they will body bag it for sure... I would not waste the money sending it in. Unless it is a special type, like the Large Date. Then I don't know what they would do with it.

It is a very nice coin and an outstanding find. I'd even say banner, but getting it graded I'd save your money.

Keep @ it and HH !!
