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.

WOW!! That 250 is one heck of a machine for the money. Awesome find.

I may trade in the DFX for an ACE 250

Happy Hunting!!

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.

Check out my banner find, I found it at 8+ inches with an Ace150.

Ho Lee Chit, what a beautiful coin..
Just checking back in here (again, after too long). I'm glad your stellar Capped Bust was the first Banner item I looked at.
Congratulations!

My son hunts with an Ace 250... with the stock coil 5" or 6" seems about the deepest.. I have hit relics with my DFX that ended up being deeper and could not get any kind of signal with the stock coil on the 250. I just got him the 9 x 12 coil to see how that goes.. but he will be getting my DFX when I get a V3 or TDI... a larger coil will get you more depth with a trade off if you are trying to hunt trashy areas...

CONGRATS!! 25+ years hunting and all capped bust silver has eluded me and I do put myself in the old places.Maybe someday.... Looks like it may be time for an avatar change?A well deserved banner find!!! HH, Bootstrap

 

[lordmarcovan]

Oh, man, and a half dollar, too! WTG! That is TOTALLY awesome!

In the last 18 years I have only dug one Capped Bust coin and it was an 1829 half dime... with a hole in it.

That must have been one heck of an adrenaline rush when you found that! I know I would have probably fainted!
