My First Half Dime

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

Kirk, Kyle and I got out for our usual Sunday detectathon. We decided to hit a new spot to start off the day. A homestead that had potential to be Colonial or early American due to it's geographical area. Not too far from our copper bonanza site. We were swinging along for less than an hour with nothing to show but an iron patch or 2 and a new quarter and memorial penny. The guys were troubled and wanted to leave and hit another spot. We've been through this before and old guy Zeus had to scold young dudes K and K about the attributes of patience. They were at the car and I had to yell back"Give it some more time guys, we just got here". I convinced them to give it another half hour or so. "The youth of America....I'm glad that I'm old and on my way out if you know what I mean" It's a good thing they heeded their Uncles advice because it wasn't long after that Kyle found a nice something that i'm sure he will post shortly so watch out for his post. About 7 minutes after that my Vision told me a coinsized target at 56 VDI and the perfect signagraph meter reading to be a possible / probable coin. It turned out to be my first half dime that I ever found and Seated. I don't find many Seated coins due to my clubs Colonial sniping style. 1855 with arrows at the date. Beat my oldest seated coin by 4 years also. 4 inches deep this coin was. After a while of swinging we did go back to the colonial bonanza site where I found a bunch of pewter spoon parts. Kyle found another cool something there. Well next week has potential due to it's virginity

Chris,
Congrats on your first half dime you wise old owl. I bet you're glad you stayed. You know those youngsters, they don't want to slow down for just some silly old silver. They want copper!

That is hilarious, Dug! I admit it, I'm a stupid, stubborn, silly man. I'm glad that we stayed, Unc!

If you know for a fact you are on the right spot, something cool will come out of the ground eventually. Nice work!


That's a good looking coin, and some top notch photos of it.



Yes, it's a younger coin--but any CW or earlier Seated is a good find in my book.
