1826 Capped Bust Half Dollar

[j.d. in the usa]

Hi guys some of you know I found this in the last week of Dec. last year so it doesnt count for this years totals, I got home late and decided to take a shower before I took pics and posted it, after I got out I could not find it anywhere I searched and searched and even went back to the spot i found it the next day and found nothing... I pissed and moaned about it for three days straight in the chat room here, I'm sure some of you remember...lol lol
Well yesterday my son says here Dad I found this in a DVD case, now I have no idea how it ended up in the case I kinda remember my daughter wanting to watch a movie that night so I probably in rush did it and forgot about it.. I dont know but hey I got it back!! yippy!!
I lost 1 other coin I found before it was an 1809 half reale in PA. i never did find it again....
In approx. 5 years of detecting now this was capped bust # 11 2 half dimes, 6 dimes, 3 halfs.... hh all

I cant wait to go detecting!!! but it will be awhile yet

Besides the Drapped Bust coins those are my favorite. Great shape too.

I was out at lunch two days ago for a little detecting. Found some junk and one deep coin. I was excited cause I thought it might be an IH. Turned out to be a wheat penny. Got home and put it somewhere and now I can't find it. I know it is a very early date wheatie because of the site. Kinda funny how that happens. Glad it's only a wheat penny.

Hope your feeling better & can get back in the swing soon.
