Short After Work Hunt Produces Only 1 Coin: 1834 Capped Bust Dime

[bologna321]

Another nice day here after so much rain, got the itch to go do something after work. Went detecting someplace close by where I've been before. On an old hand drawn map near a house it showed a large garden or something similar in the 1850's.

Was running the 6" coil in Park 1, dug 2 pieces of trash then got a nice stable 25 vdi in two directions. Found this about 5" down, thought I was seeing things as I was expecting a modern dime or copper penny.

My county was only founded in 1833 so finding an 1834 coin here is exceedingly rare in my book. I've only found 1 seated coin in 4 years of digging so finding a capped bust is a dream find for me, it was never on my bucket list as i figured it was a one in a billion type thing.

Thanks everyone.

Congrats on the old silver, it's always great to get something lest expected.
It looks like it had been in circulation for good many years before being lost.

Yeah, that's a great find anywhere! There were people settled in my area in the 1600's and my oldest American silver is a barber dime.

If you're only going to find one measley little coin...it might as well be a great one! Congrats to you. That is certainly an old one for your neck of the woods.

I always say, "if you're only going to get one coin, it might as well be early 1800s silver."

I went back to the same area again and just pulled trash and a couple modern coins. This must have just been a fluke, I'm going to hit the rest of the farm hard.

Thanks all
