Second Antietam Coin......1833 Capped Bust Half Dime......

[civilman1]

Talked with Ty this morning early,he had a weapon's class for his Karate so we didn't get hunting until around 10:30 or so.We originally were supposed to hunt the house where I found the Box Plate at but the corn was finally cut at one of my farm's so we met there.Started finding lead pretty quick,but most of them were "buck's" from the buck-n-ball round's.I guess around noon or so I got a funny signal that really didn't make much sense,bouncing from 74 to iron on the MXT,that's what the buck's would do too.At first I thought I had a small flat button until I saw some "writing" on it......That was all she wrote,took the headphone's off and waltzed right on over to Ty and dropped it in his hand and said I was going to the truck Spent another couple hour's there and found a couple more piece's of lead to round out the day......This might take me a while,Never in my wildest dream's would I have thought.....Thank's for looking and HH!!......Still Pumped!!!!!

Joe,
Very Sweet. See, you don't just find bullets. That is in awesome shape too. Those coins are so small they really don't sound very good on any detector.

Enjoy. I wish you could see my Antietam Bookcase's Bob.......Ty shoot's an XLT and has the same experience with these littl guy's,pretty much the same reading's,glad I dug!!!

Awesome digs Civ - as much as I love that dime, I think I'd be even more psyched about that 3 cent piece...

 

[tymcmurray]

That was a GREAT find in the little old "hunted out" corn field,
Joe!!!
I could see in your eyes when you walked over that you had
something good, but NOTHING like that!!!
Way to go, brother

Congrats on the nice Half Dime! I have seen over the years more Half Dimes found at CW related sites, including Capped Busts, than from homesteads. Just glad we do not have coins that small, we would be losing those all the time! Wait a minute, that would be great for our hobby!!! Now if we can get the Gov't to eliminate paper dollar bills and force all to use silver dollars.

Don

Yeah, and our Silver Dollars would be three cent-sized!


Great finds, Civil! A Capped Bust is on our list for the Brigade this year. I hope we get to see one come up. It's a tough feat in KY.



That's great that it's not only a CB, but ALSO a CW coin.
