Went out metal detecting in pasture for about 15 min on ranch where I work and found this 1830 Cape bust half dime I sure wasn't expecting that. IMG_20170919_071953185.webpIMG_20170919_072013288.webp

You are a very lucky man. Congrats on finding a very nice specimen of the Capped Bust half dime.

Many people will be envious of such a rare find.

Best of luck to you sir!

Edit: I couldn't resist... I saw the other boys posting theirs...here is a pic of the '31 that I dug in April. It's the best coin that I have EVER found.

I have one Capped Bust half dime and it is also 1830. I would hunt that area hard. Might have been a random drop, but then again there might be a site there with more goodies.
 
As Carolina Tom mentions, I am one of those envious folks!! Happy for you:D
 
if I found one of those, I would be getting a large chocolate frosty at Wendy's for sure! what a beautiful coin! congrats:headbang:
 
Heck of a find, congrats
 
Super nice find. A lot of us don't even live in states that are that old lol
