1854 O Seated Liberty Half Dime & Other Goodies

[shanegalang]

I did a short solo hunt this morning at a site where we have found other coins and buttons. Got a 1854 New Orleans mint seated half dime that is in really great shape. Also a 1867 Shield Nickel (with rays) in relatively good shape considering having been in a corn field for the pass 148 years. A nice flat button with a very readable back mark that includes "London". Also the usual lantern pieces, umbrella clip, pack studs and other brass items. Oh and an awesome eye balled clay marble, the largest I have ever found!!

love that old seated silver and the shield nickel is pretty sweet too!, nice finding one with a readable date!, its about that time of year almost when the crops are cut and the colonial hunting is rocking!

great job on all the goods!

I can imagine the humidity you're dealing with. I spent 6 months in Biloxi back in the very early 80's...still the most miserable months of my life lol. Those are some nice finds Shane. I bet Buck was a bit envious!

Some great digs. I'm not sure what I like best, the half dime or the clay marble. Been hoping to uncover one of those marbles for many years, and I'm still waiting for the first.

Saw the 1854 O but could not see the Thread Starter but Immediately thought it had to be One of the CFB-IT's .
I was Right !
Very nice Diggs.
Have not dug any Silver older than 1925 (1st STLQ) in 2 + years & No Seated's or Barbers in 4+.
I'm def, Jones-en for some older Silver ,It does not even have tho be Big .
