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 :thumbsup:. 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 :laughing7:. Anyways it is always cool to dig those funky denominations they use to mint. Thanks for looking.

sweet half dime. I sure would like to dig one of those
 

Very cool finds. Does anyone know what the holed half moon piece of brass he has there is? I have found several of them.

Don't know for sure, but they remind me of toe or heel taps that were popular back in the 1960's and earlier.
