1808 Draped Bust Half Cent

[baspinall]

Went to scout out a new farm field. Couple buttons, drawer hardware? Got the Draped half cent about 5 inches down. Was only about two swipes through the field when I saw an older Gentleman standing at my truck. Thought I was getting the boot. Land isn't posted by the way. Worked my way up to the truck and introduced myself. Ended up he was the old owner of the farm house next door and was just curious what I was doing. His wife stopped down a few minutes later. I sat and talked with them for about an hour. Got a new lead as well
Snapped the picture as they were walking home.
