My First Half Cent!

[payload77]

A new permission in WV, large home built in 1800. Focusing on the cornfield along the driveway, I have one day in the books. I found my first half-cent, an 1809. Also found this nice percussion capper, doing with some odds and ends including a WWI button. More to come!

That half cent has been around the block a few times, hasn't it? I wonder what stories it would tell. Nice find!
