1798-1803 LC's and 1829 BIG SILVER!

Have this post for my brother in law, DigginitRTB, who incidently snuck out without me today, and found these 3 Beauties. The 1798 was found a couple feet away from where I found the 1787 Conn. Copper yesterday. The 1803 and 1829 BIG!!!!! silver were found at another foundation nearby. I, personally, have yet to find a capped bust coin let alone a 50cent piece. Don or IP, if you read this, the "5" on the back, has a short top to it. Is this a die variation? It is definitely struck like this. It's hasn't been nicked or wiped off, it's just missing 1/2 of the top of the 5. You can see it in the scan. Anyways, CONGRATULATIONS big time to Richie! :thumbsup: We've got a couple of weeks left to detect up here before frost hits so I guess we have to hit it hard. CYA Sunday Dickie, Right?

Hogge, tell your brother-in-law that I said WOW !!!!!

A Bust Half has been on my 'want' list for 20 years.... probably an unrealistic goal, but after seeing this post I at least have a sliver of hope !!

Great find (the coppers too)

He did well !!!!

Hey Brian, These things are out there. Just gotta find 'em. Learned alot from this site as regards to tactics on how to hunt sites too. It's not just all luck. Stick to, and go back and forth, on what you see as high traffic areas. If it weren't for this site, and the experts in it, I would have never found out what the British Belt Tip was, or the Ringo 25-83A I found. Look to these guys on here who find all the good stuff, ask questions, and pick up tips!

Re: 1798-1803 LC's and 1829 BIG SILVER!

You guys have some great sites!

As for the 1783 you're going to have to talk to some of the serious guys who collect them to get an answer like that.
 

Re: 1798-1803 LC's and 1829 BIG SILVER!

You guys are really tearing it up out out there Hogge!

Congrats!
