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!!!!!

Wow Joe, she's a beauty, awesome find!!

Thank's Jared.....Very unexpected,sounded like a percussion cap or a Buck and definetly bouncing,even went as low as iron.Really didn't know what to think.Disc. is all the way down and the Gain is all the way up,work's perfect for Sharpsburg and especially for the MXT.Thank's for the reply,need to hook back up one of these day's.HH!!

That's a great-looking coin, the finish looks tons better than later 'nickel' coins. A capped anything would be super, but that's one step beyond.

About that last pic of the half-dime and dime, my Old Man would say, "there's a pair to draw to". Congrats on a great year.
