Seminole War Fort Coin

[Florida Finder]

Hello everyone! Today was a honey do day. I finished my chores late this afternoon so I loaded my gear and took off to the fort. I only had about an hour of light left and the first 55 minutes were uneventful. As I was walking back to my truck I picked up a weak signal. I got down about a foot and pulled out this 1831 capped bust half dime. It’s been awhile since I pulled out one of these.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting to all.

For those of us who appreciate Florida Seminole War fort finds, you hit that one out of the fort. Not JUST a half dime....huge CONGRATS on a great artifact.

Thank you my friend!

I’m curious. Is the fort or parts of it still standing?

Benny, it’s not standing at all. A hurricane came through in 1842 and leveled it.

That’s a great Capped Bust for sure. I just found an 1837, but it was a grey beach find; yours is spectacular. Congrats!
