First Silver in 2016- 1853 O Half Dime

[shanegalang]

The rest of the Canefield bandits were busy this week end but I was able to do half a day up the bayou. This is an area that hasn't been plowed but I decided to see what I could get using a program on my Deus that I hadn't tried yet. It worked really well in an area that was littered with nails. I managed to pull a 1853 O seated half dime, the back of a CW two piece button, three Norfolk & Western Railway buttons, a Lee button or snap, a button or snap I've never seen, it's a "Blue Buckle" (any body familiar?), a brass spoon, some lantern dials, pack studs and other miscellaneous brass bits and pieces.

For you XP Deus users, I was using the #4 program PITCH. Settings- disc 6.8, sens 90, freq 11.7, iron volume 0, reactivity 2, audio response 4, notch 00/00, ground balance manual. This program is amazing and I could pass the coil over numerous nails close together and not hear them at all but still ding loudly on a lantern dial knob.



"The Norfolk and Western Railway, was a US class I railroad, formed by more than 200 railroad mergers between 1838 and 1982. It was headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia, for most of its 150-year existence."

Fantastic half! And O too! I have only found one New Orleans minted coin up north. It was a good one as well, 1908 Barber. If I remember right the mint closed after 1909. Not very many O were minted those last two years.

And to think we get excited when we find a coin with a mint mark other than an O lol we are so close to New Orleans it makes perfect sense. I once dug a CC either dime or half dime (i forget which) and also an S. Large coppers are very hard to come by here.

Nice going on the half dime. Any seated half dime is a good one, but even better if it's one with arrows and a mint mark.
