After the rain stopped I decided to go check out a bean field and it had been harvested. This was a permission from last year and did pretty well there. I never expected to see this when it popped out I could see it was a small silver so I'm thinking a Seated but no a Capped Bust!

That's always welcomed site! Nice find. I dug the exact same year in a field down here in Georgia but mine was a dime.

Nice details on the old LC and IHP, but the Capped Bust Half Dime is a super cool. Top of my bucket list. Congrats!!

Man good finds. It’s hard, and I mean super super hard to find anything near that age in our area. It’s out there, but mainly in wooded areas where farmers homesteaded back a long time ago. We’ve found some silver and old copper before, but like I said it’s wayyy off the beaten path, where no normal detectorist would go
