Hunted out site produces another first...1853 O Seated Half Dime!

[West Jersey Detecting]

First of all sorry for the crappy scan. I spoke to the replacement plan people regarding my digicam and they are going to give me the replacement value on my busted camera! The scan is kinda fuzzy...the coin is much prettier with sharp details in person.

Anyway, I have been obsessing over the site that I found the 1777 (not 1775 like I originally thought) KGIII and the Draped Bust half cent earlier this week. I swung by a little while ago and dug another four buttons...One PLATED, one IMPERIAL STANDARD, one STAND COL, TREBLE GILT, and one unmarked pewter flat button. I also dug a few more wheaties and a beat up old Indian Head, but the real find was a sweet sounding 51 VDI...(that is typically a twist off cap for you non White's people). It was only 2 inches down but sounded too sweet to be a shotgun shell or a twist cap. I was hoping for a button but instead got my first Half Dime, an 1853 O... Too bad it has arrows! .

Hey Neil,

Congrats on the Seated Half Dime. It's always a major rush to dig a coin you've never dug before!

Nice half dime Neil, got to be one of my favorite coins for sure, I love seated coins. I love this time of year, it will get better next month, soybeans come out, temps drop, bugs retreat, brush starts to die... A metal detectorists holiday for sure lol

Nice find,

I have yet to find a half dime. I got seateds but no half dime. It is on the want list. The spectra is a very good unit. As you learn yours like I learn mine they just keep getting better out there.
