Nickel curse broken with 1839 o half dime today!

[Oldrvrrat57]

Went out today and hunted the site where I recovered the 1st Regiment button a month or so ago and finally hit silver!! I was digging everything that gave off a high tone and glad that I was , the 1839 o

half dime was showing a 72 on the Deus 2 and was only about 4" deep. The small piece of silver to the left of it looks to be a section from a ring. Also recovered a eagle button today and a few other flat buttons.
