Popped a sweet 1831 half dime yesterday during an hour long hunt. Also found this too cool compass
And A hat letter I that's in rough shape.

Nice silver! That is an old compass so cool!
 

Very nice silver!
 

Nice finds James. That 1/2 dime looks to be in great condition! I envy you guys further south that can get out and hunt this time of year.
 

The condition of that coin is outstanding! :thumbsup:
 

Nice one! I think so many of the Half Dimes come out looking so good is because of their size for sure, people just lost them due to small size, unless they drilled a hole in it, than you see them found with more wear. :) I remember finding my first one, pre pinpointer days, in a pile of farm field dirt, I was ready to give up on the signal when I finally felt it in the hand. Seemed like it took 5 minutes to locate it in the dug pile.... :)
 

I am soooooooo jealous! Great find. I've found 2 real and multiple half reals (including 2 in one hole), but have yet to find bust silver. Way to go!
 

Beautiful half dime James!
 

That is a beautiful half dime! It looks almost new! I would have to sit down if I saw that in the hole.
 

Thanks everyone
 

What is the piece in your other pic? I found a piece of the same thing. Congrats on the beautiful coin!

I'm pretty sure it's a compass
Perhaps an engineers compass
