Wife gets her first capped bust half dime 1832

[gwdigger]

We got back out to the fields of a long gone old town where I found the 1778 Spanish 2 reales last week. 7 coins in 2 hunts. Indians, Barbers, Spanish, a couple large cents and this beauty found by my wife. There must have been tables of goods 'for sale' set up near the road because there are so many old relics and these coins just feet from the main road - a long way from the actual home sites that sit further back in the fields. Have to sift through lots of can slaw but the quality of coins makes it worth it. This coin came from over 1/4 mile from where the Spanish was popped out. Again she popped it out less than 20 ft from the road. She had just dug a large cent near the road across the street. The woman was on fire yesterday.

You have a better chance of falling down and getting a cob or Massachusetts silver stuck up ur butt - along with that horse shoe.
