SWEET FIND, I FOUND THIS 1837 THIS SPRING---CONGRADS--------------------------FINDING A BUST SILVER REALLY GETS MY HEART PUMPING---IM SURE YOURS WAS TO !
Yeah Im still stoked! I don't know what its but I seem to find more of the early pioneer coins and objects from the 1830's and 40's. Im in Norther Illinois and as we all know Chicago was a major point for them to head west! I basically find that point in time very interesting, so thats what I zero in on, the spots I want to hunt!
Great coin. I have yet to get a capped....... or half dime...... or two center ........ or three center..........I better get some rest and go hunting tomorrow.
Well, now I haven't been to a BARBER shop ever, did find an Indian Head, found plenty halves & SLQ's in my 33 years swinging. And I've not touched a "seat", and a capped bust is beyond my comprehension!
I was never lucky playing poker either! But consider myself very lucky = 22 straight silver dimes one time, oh that very sweet whisper of deep treasure
I congratulate you! Yeah, envy you too! But this find made your day a remarkable one! Keep swinging
Yeah! I call that deep whisper a "lonely sound...when you hear it, you know! I found one seated half years ago, kinda let the capped bust slide off my list, they're so elusive, lo! Probably have the Big One if one ever shower up in a plug!
I still can't get over the fact that an 1837 Capped Bust half dollar was my very first silver find.
It was my first non clad find with a detector period.
Reading everyone's responces makes me feel even luckier.
