My First CAPPED Dime!

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

Long day so I'll be brief. 12 hours in the field digging. The day started in the mid 30s, which is very cold for here. Warmed up to the mid 60s. The frost on the ground in the morning made for some slippery nasty mud later on. We didn't get ourselves on much of a site today, so we had to settle for random drops: couple musketballs, couple flat buttons, some newer GawGag coins, a beautiful gilded Colonial watch winder that Shangalang dug, and my first Capped Dime.

Although we seem to be in a lull on the Spanish recently, I have hopes we'll at least get one more before January, which would give us 28 for the year, and 47 total for two years of digging LA. Quite a record, and one that we likely won't ever repeat.

At any rate, enjoy the video and finds. I got some great footage of the burning off of the fields at night, which is a sight that I love to see. It means that they are clearing the ground of stubble so we can get back out in some of our old fields again.





Here's the BEAUTIFUL watch winder dug by Shanegalang:



Best Wishes,


Buckles

Sometimes we stay out all day with much, much less. So we were both happy to find something good today.

Thanks for your reply,

Buck

Congrats on the capped bust. 41 yrs. of dirt fishing and i am still looking for my first. A lot of the places i hunt are old enough to have them, just have not ran my coil over one yet.

Yaba daba doo!!! Congrats on the capped dime Will. That's an awesome find.
That is one heck of a fire you guys made to stay warm. Reminded me of that creepy movie with those kids, "Children of the Cane".
