Wow! Not even sure where to begin. I went back to the house from about 2 months ago that gave me the 1857 Seated dime hoping for more of the same. Went back and forth side to side and ended up with a shield nickel two Indians, and 8 wheats. Decided to try to get another permission right around the corner at a house from the late 1800s. One of my first targets was the 1956 roosie, then I got a nice high tone, dug down and out pops my oldest United States silver coin, freaking 1820 capped bust dime!!!��, finished up with a Mercury dime three more wheats, and a bunch of odds and ends, what a fun fun hunt. Checked a big one off the bucket list!

I'd have been running naked down the street or across the corn field after scoring all these goodies. I see two bucket list coins you got there I still need. Wowser. Mega haul on some great old coins. I also love the Davy Crocket ring. That would probably be enough to get me running naked for joy.:laughing7:

With the hole and the scratched number and initials, that dime has got some great stories built into it ! Much more interesting than a generic coin

Ok....just throwing this out there....
I just read every post, and while I agree with everyone in this thread, I don't see one important factor that has been overlooked...

My Banner vote is in.
That capped bust dime, it's the bomb.
Congrats again my man.
