1861 Half Dime & A Few Buttons

[Bubba65]

Hi All,

These finds are from this past Saturday. I hunted a 1700's house I had done quite a few times before. It was about a 3 hour hunt and it seemed to be a relic kind of hunt with a few buttons coming to the surface, which is very fine with me . Then in the last half hour of the hunt I got a real iffy signal, so I dug it and out popped a 1861 Seated Half Dime from about 4 to 5 inches. This one happens to be the third one I have found. The other ones are a Seated and a Capped Bust. This half dimes make the half reals look big . Anyways it is always cool to dig those funky denominations they use to mint. Thanks for looking.

Looks like another great hunt from you. That silver is bright!

Awesome stuff. Many years at it, and several seated dimes, but still no half dime. Been in some early 1800's home sites with scattered CW relics lately and literally often think about the possibility of a half. Want one worse than bad. I think they flip on edge and dive when I approach. ha ha

Now that's funny, right there! I don't care who you are! The things we tell ourselves so we keep on, huh? This is how people that survive bad ordeals do it. If you don't think " next time......" it won't happen. Good luck on your "next time.....".

What a great day, Bubba. I've still never found a half dime. When the day finally comes, I'd be thrilled if mine is half as nice as yours!

The seated coins are beautiful.

Thanks Terpfan, all 3 of my half dimes have not been great signals, I don't know about others but that is what I have found to be true.
