FOUND CAPPED BUST HALF DIME oh yeah

[Petrie502]

Detecting the river today and found an 1835 capped bust half dime, still didn't beat my oldest (1822 large cent) but very very nice I gotta say!! And I didn't find it with my ctx I found it with my NEW DEUS! Man I love it, awesome machine the DEUS is!!!!!!!!

Oh , what a little honey ! I'd be stoked to find a capped bust coin of any kind !

 

[Petrie502]

Oh I am and get this the DEUS hit it at around 8 or 9's with square nails in the same hole I found 3 of EM before the coin then two more after finding the coin while re checking my plug!! I'm stoked I love a good capped bust, now I just need the dollar version......lmao!!!!

Awesome coin! If its not a key date, I'd probably consider cleaning that up with the aluminum foil by wetting it and wrapping it tightly in the foil....it will remove the corrosion from the water quite well. Congrats on a great find!

sweet! man, how I'd love to dig something like that.

A soaking in just plain old ammonia will probably do wonders on getting the crud off. Ammonia doesn't react with silver. I usually soak my silver finds until a cloudy haze starts to build up around the coin, and then wipe it gently with a qtip wet with ammonia. I usually rinse and repeat until nothing comes off onto the qtip and leave it at that. There might be some staining of the surface of the silver, but all of the crud should dissolve off. Maybe try it on some newer silver coins first to see how well it works.
