Went back to the old farm with EVOLUTION yesterday. After great finds last week, I was ready for more. The day started out slow. Got a hit on the m-6 around mid-day and out of the hole an old pocket watch. Keep hunting and next a little bell. Move back to where an old home site was and on the back corner a solid hit at 67 vdi. Dig the hole 4 inches deep and I see roundness in the hole. It looks small and silver. Capped bust 1/2 dime. image.jpgimage.jpg she is 2x holed but still a great find. Still working around the old old home site, I get a 77 at 2 inches and in the plug another coin. image.jpgimage.jpg. It's smaller than a LC but bigger than a small cent, 2 cent. What a day. image.jpgimage.jpg. Turns out the 1/2 dime is 1832 and the 2 cent is 1864. Both are firsts for me and on my find list. Later in the day I picked up a button and the insides to another watch. image.jpgthanks for looking. HH.

Nice finds! Love the little half dime even with the two holes. So you got a two holer and a two center :laughing7:
 

I can't wait to find a 2 or 3 center, awesome finds!!
I have been looking for those coins, I have a list a made when I first started Md'ing and in the last 2 weeks I've knocked a bunch off. (2coins knocked off 4 things). I would like to find a few more before the years over. Thanks
 

You had an awesome day Tony. I couldn't believe it when you called me over and I was seeing that half dime.... I knew what I was seeing... just had a little trouble believing it as neither one of us has ever found a half dime before. It's a shame that sucker is holed (twice) because it looks like it had pretty good detail when it was dropped. And then you find a 2 center.. You're putting me to shame...:laughing7: Congrats on all of your firsts... (pre 1900 silver.. two center... half dime... capped bust coin) :thumbsup: I'm sure that farm is still hiding a few goodies.
 

A couple of beauties there for sure ! You don't see many double holed coins. That is a cool piece! Congrats.
 

Great Finds... Love the 2 cent piece that thing is in great condition :icon_thumright:
 

Two holes in that half dime, maybe it had become a button. Congrats on hitting a few more goals. You and that M-6 make a great team.
 

Awesome finds! :thumbsup:
 

Very nice indeed, wonder if the half dime was made into a whizzer?
 

capped bust coins are always a welcome find , :icon_scratch: wonder if it served as a button replacement at one point 8-) coin finds
