I am very excited! This is my oldest coin to date, and only my second half ever! Was able to get on an old farm today, was working around an old fruit tree and got a kind of jumpy signal on the etrac, couldn't believe it when this popped out!

Holy mackerel! Rare to find a bust half, especially in that condition. Congrats on a really great coin.
 

That's some toning on that coin. Have any pics of that girl all dirty?

I don't have any pics, but my hunting partner videoed it and will put out a video in the next week, or so. I'll put a link to it here when he gets it out.

I know you are not implying that I didn't actually dig this coin, right? It came out of the ground like that, all I did was wash it with soapy water.

Those are your words, not mine. I'm not implying anything, so stop that "I know you're not" business. Can't wait to see the video.
 

To find any bust coin would be Awesome, to find one in that shape is just unbelievable.
Congrats!!

I probably wouldn't be able to, anyway........Great score!!!

Sucks how recent (actually not so recent) events make people wonder if their finds will be Second guessed. I didn't think you were implying anything

Great find by the way!
 

Very sweet Bust Half! Lots of detail of that one.
