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!

Way to go! That's a nice bunch of old coins, and the capped bust half dime is spectacular!!!! Congrats!
 

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.
 

me->looks down kicking the dirt muttering "my first half dime was a only a seated".:BangHead: lol Great job and congrats, what a great first half 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!!
 

Seriously good finds.
Congratulations!
 

That half dime is an awesome find and in great shape for it to be that old. Congratulations!
 

Congratulations. Great finds.
 

Nice old coin shooting! :occasion14:
 

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
 

Wow man, crazy find! Don't see too many capped bust coins posted on here. That's a great pickup. Congrats!!
 

Very nice group of coins, especially that beautiful Half Dime! A lot of great stuff seems to be coming out of Upstate NY this week! :occasion14:
