~I dug a Silver 3 Cent Piece!!!!!!!!~

[Goes4ever]

I went digging today with Diggerdan, we hunted two places first place was a farm that was gonna be tore down, owner was building a new house next door. I got 3 FIRSTS for me today

I got a deep, bouncy, 12-24 ....17-28.....12-28, depth meter showed around 8 inches, at about 5 inches I see a TINY silver disk, I pulled it out and right away I was excited.
I yelled at Dan, "no way your gonna believe what I just dug!" A 3 cent silver!!!!!
too bad the back had some funky green corrosion on it, the date is 90% worn off, with a loupe I can see 185-....I know it is a Type 1 so it has to be 1851 to 1853. I don't even care, worn or not I am THRILLED.
I never dreamed I would ever dig one in a yard, possibly in a field but not at a farm yard....

My second first ever was a 1968 silver kennedy half dollar. I have dug barbers, walking Liberty, and franklin halves but NEVER a Kennedy, so once again, I was happy!

And my 3rd first of the day was a 1942 Australian penny, at first I thought I had a large cent or a token....I guess it is a LARGE cent, just not from the US mint..lol

great day of firsts for me, I made a video too, hope you enjoy it, thanks to Dan for taking me to a great spot to dig!

here is the video
