First Half Cent

[rick67]

Dug my first Half Cent today. "1805" at 12". I had a lesche ground shark buried up to the foot peg. Very impressed by the 5x8" coil on the AT Pro. Had another consistent good sound a few feet away and pulled up a buckle from same depth. adding couple more pics. The Face is pretty worn.and watch 1803 change to 1805and the back.

Excellent recovery of a pretty uncommon coin. Hope to find one some day myself. Maybe Monday when the temperature is expected to hit 60 degrees and SUNNY!

I'll trade you 5 degrees of warmer weather for that coin. No clue what it is but it's nothing I'll find here whether 10 degrees or 90 degrees.

I added a couple of pic to see the date and the back. On the back it has a one above the 200. The common half cent.

Insulated Carharts coveralls, Ski mask, Mickey Mouse boots. I was actually over dressed and warm. I think it hit 26° yesterday. I'm envious.

Nice one..

Yours is in better shape than mine. I found an 1804 last year, & the only way I could date it was because of the configuration of the stem on the reverse. The field was not kind to mine.
