Short Hunt: 1853-O with arrows Half Dime

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

Went out for an afternoon and managed to scratch up a tacoed 1853-O w/arrows half dime. Was very pleased to have one more to add to our totals. The most we've ever had in a year was 44 silvers down here amongst my team and I (with over half being Reales!). It would take a bit of luck for us to make four silvers in 10 days, so I don't know that we will break our record but it was worth a shot. At any rate, it will still be an amazing year for us no matter what, and I'm looking forward to our year-end post.

The big piece I thought might be a copper sabot from a shell but alas it is not. Was nice to get two tap keys in one hunt, but otherwise fairly lackluster except for the Seated





Cheers,

Buck

Barrel tap.

Aha! Thought that might be it. Thanks for clearing that up.

After your Christmas Choirs do their thing, get the Canefield Bandits out there & break that record Bud. HH, Q.

Was there ever a day out without silver for your team?
I really enjoy your posts, the variety of finds looks always familar to what we get on the random farm fields here.

Too bad the Seated got zingo’d....but finds are like dating, they all can be perfect. But how bout those tap keys buddy? Very nice. Great saves and killer silver year. I know the Cane Bandit’s count doesn’t have any “filler”. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Buck.
