Great evening Hunt included Capped Bust Half Dollar

[lonelyduckhunter]

Got out for a few hours this evening, been swamped at work and hardly little time to detect well tonight I made up for lost time. Got a boy scout button, 3 silver war Nickels 2-43 and a 44, a 1893IHP, 1907 V Nickel a silver thimble with a 7 on it and something I always wanted to find but never thought I would a Silver 1833 Capped Bust Half Dollar. I have pounded this place but yet it never ceases to amaze me what comes from this small parcel. The capped bust was about 3" down on edge with a few nails beside it. To say this short hunt was amazing would be a understatement. Happy Hunting to all.

Wow! What an amazing find! It goes to show you that when you hit iron, slow down your sweep speed, and (if your detector allows it) speed up your recovery rate!

The number 7 on the thimble relate to the size. I have found a few with different numbers.

Congradulations!

How hard did you clean that half? I see lots of scratch marks on the obverse....

Never cleaned it 1 bit it was sitting in a hole with nails and some other iron pieces came out of the ground that way with the marks you see. Never even wiped the dirt off of it just rinsed it with water.
