🥇 BANNER Flowing Hair Half Dime -- Off the fantasy bucket list - With video

[DFW_THer]

Hi T-net friends.

On Saturday I found a coin that no one expects to dig. 1795 Flowing Hair half dime.

Go easy on me folks--I did kiss this coin with my shovel. It was in the ground at 90 degrees, about 6 inches, and was surrounded by flaky targets making it very difficult to pinpoint.

I know a lot of you folks are vocal about not liking videos on the forum or not trusting links, but I assure you this is a safe link and the video is incredible. Very emotional find for me.



I was using a Fisher F75Ltd and operating in De mode (which I rarely do) 20 disc, 3 tone. The signal was just a whisper with VDI fluctuating between 55-60.

The coin was found in Maryland on private property, with permission.

Thank you for enjoying this tiny piece of rescued history with me!

WOW WOW WOW Brad, I saw the video on Jocelyn's FB feed. That coin nicked or not is a drop dead bucket lister ALL DAY LONG. Don't feel bad about that PLUS it looks like it got bent somehow already.
Definitely banner find.

Congrats on the AMAZING find! 1700's US Silver is such a rare find- don't be too hard on yourself for the nick- hard to nab those targets that are straight up and down.

Stunning find Brad. I could see the pain in your face when you realized what you kissed.... (strange sense of deja vu just came over me... I feel like I may have said those same words a time or two in college). No worries though bro. Still looks awesome! Congrats!
