Walked my you know what off for a 1837 Caped Half Dime!!

[Oldrvrrat57]

Hit the field today that gave me the small 18k wedding band a few weeks ago and walked a total of about 6 hours! Today was a beautiful day and I enjoyed every minute of it. Was working really slow and taking my time digging everything above a mid tone, several buttons and another Chinese coin, this site is probably about a quarter of a mile from the site I recovered the other one a few days ago. Started working farther away from the main home site and this is where I recovered the half dime! She's a little rough but I'll take her!!

6 hours? I’d walk at least 8 for that half dime. 👍 Nice suspender clip too.
Congrats on a great day,

That capped half dime is a fantastic find! They don't come around that often and should be cherished. I bet dinner tasted awfully good after all that walking. Big congrats!

I've been walking 30 + years in the detecting world and just found my first Half dime this year. It was an 1855 O. I'd walk another 30 years to find a Capped Bust half dime ! Great coin.

Been MDing for about 10 or 12 years and here is my collection of half dimes that I've recovered off of old home sites all 18 and a half of them.

Rough or not, she's a beauty! Don't see too many Capped anythings posted- Big Congrats!!

 

[lenmac65]

Capped bust silver is tough to come by. Congrats!

 

[treytt]

Awesome!!! Congrats!!!

Looks like she has been hit by the plow blade often enough, but really cool find. Congats!!

Good find... too bad the digging tool left its mark... and in the worst spot possible.
