Me and Oldschool hit a site with 2 old homes on it yesterday. They were on an 1880 map and gone by 1900. The site didn't look too promising, but I got a cruddy Indian after a few minutes. This gave us the notion to try a little longer. Then I hear Oldschool calling me over to him with this sly grin on his face. He says, I got a coin that says HALF something on the back. Well, it turned out to be a very nice 1853 O with arrows half dime. Wow. I was excited. Oldest coin we've found in a while. And from a site that really didn't look all that great. Not much glass, brick, pottery or anything.. I'm posting this pic because he only has dial-up. We went out today and got one cruddy 1860 Indian at a school site. HH Dan

Wow, very nice half dime Oldschool! :thumbsup: I would love to find a pre-Civil War coin.

Keep digging!
 

Congrats thats an awesome coin!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 

nice looking coin...Matt
 

Awesome coin for sure :thumbsup: The closest I came to finding a half dime was a Canadian fishscale, my brother managed his first half dime last year, maybe I'll manage to conjure up one this year hopefully.
 

Congrats on that one! Seated anything and a large cent are still on my list!

thanks everyone,I never expected to find a half dime,but when on a old site I guess you never know.
 

Great coin! I have most of the coins on my list crossed off, but not that one.
