My oldest U.S. coin and first capped bust

[Diggeraddict]

Went for a quick hunt yesterday and honestly was just praying I could find a Indian or something seated. First few targets were musket balls and then I hear that beautiful high tone on the nox. I’m excited now because this area doesn’t have much trash or new clutter. I dig and out pops a dime and I’m praying for a seated but under the mud it seems as if I got another barber. I wanted to wait till I got to the truck with some water but when I flip it I notice a eagle and now I’m really pumped. My first capped bust and five min later another one. Both of them are 1831. Here’s a couple pics from the hunt. HH everyone

WOW!!! Great score with the dimes. Looks like you have a pistol barrel as well.

Congrats on some outstanding finds, and your oldest silver !

Those coins are absolutely awesome congrats. Those are not easy to find and you found twice the treasure! I can't wait to find one of those! The question is will you clean the old gray silver or leave it as is?

Two capped bust dimes and a boot pistol - that's a pretty good site there! Especially for Nevada. I don't think anybody in the history of metal detecting has dug two capped bust dimes before they dug their first flat button!
