First Capped Bust, First Half Dime!!!

[Captain Caveman]

I had another good day! My first target was a 1905 IHP. Next I dug 2 Wheats 1920, 1953, and a Memorial. Then the fun started! I dug a 1903 V Nickel followed by a 1907 Barber Dime and the medal looking thing. Last keeper of the day was my first Capped Bust coin, my first Half Dime, a 1837! It's in OK shape other than the hole! I was a little surprised that I found it because it was up and down in the hole, not flat.

Any help on the medal would be appreciated. The front says American Radiator Co at the top, and North Birmingham, Ala at the bottom. On the back in small letters, it says, General Metal Crafter Co, Chicago, Ill. I don't know if this was a medal or something else.

Anyway, thanks for looking and here are the pics!

Thanks to all for the kind comments!

Congrats on your first Capped Bust coin CC. That is one that is still on my list. I believe the Radiator item is an employee or advertising pin for the company. That s a nice find also.

Thanks Trezurehunter! My list is getting smaller, so the things left on it are going to get harder and harder to find. I like the medal looking item, I just wish I could figure out what it is.

Superb hunt sir! Oh that capped coin has really enflamed a jealous streak deep within my heart. Ouch!

Thanks Tom! Like I told Loco, it's nice to be on the other side of jealous for a change!

Nice finds CC. Never found a capped silver myself. Saw a hunting buddy pull out a capped half dime once but that one is still on my bucket list.
