I just dug an 1835 Capped Bust dime in MINT condition! Mebane NC, VIDEO!

Yesterday I went to the battle of Bentonville in Johnston county NC and had high expectations. I ended up coming home with just two 3 ringers! I was tired from hunting all day, so I got a late start digging today. My site of choice was the old house site that I have been hitting pretty hard. I found a wheat penny, so i was stoked about that, and then I found an 1800s squeeze box reed. I also dug an old axe head. I save these for some reason, I like them. I was having a fair hunt until I decided to search for a supposed still in the bottom below the field. As I was walking down the hill I was swinging. I got a HOT dime signal on my Ace 250, moved some dirt, and started filming. I wasn't prepared for what I saw. , a silver dime! I was certain that it was a Roosevelt. But in the film, I realized that I was over 100 years off. I dug my SECOND CAPPED BUST DIME! I can't believe i dug such a beautiful coin. It is an 1835 and in EF40 for you coin folks out there! It looks like it was dropped yesterday. When you watch the video, please don't be critical of my digging! In the video I know it looks haphazard but I could see the coin, and I wasn't about to hit it! ! You guys don't understand how happy I am! I even quit detecting before dark on a Saturday! HAHA. YouTube video will be added soon. In the pictures, you will see the front and back of the dime, and my "relics". Relics were a spoon, camp lead, squeeze box reed, and a 44 wheat! Enjoy, and may this be inspiration if you use an Ace 250!

Beautiful Capped Bust dime!! It appears the only way I will get one is to buy it! I am still looking for even a seated coin.

My wife is from Cedar Grove and a lot of family in Efland, so I spend a little time in your neck of the woods. Still haven't found a lot up there though. I don't get up too often due to work schedule, but next time I come up I will try to connect. My father in law has an old house place in his field that was torn down in the 40's and has been pasture ever since. There is even a very old spring in the woods nearby. I have played in the debris field, but it will take more than one to really hunt it well.

I'm waiting for the day I pull any type of capped bust out of the ground! Congrats on the find AND the excellent condition it's in.

I did an eBay completed listing search and one in less good condition sold for $170.00! Believe I have myself a SOLID $200.00 coin, making it my BEST COIN DIG to date! 2nd oldest US coin ever dug as well!

Great coin, I would say it could be a bit more. I would not place much of a value according to ebay;

Might try a site like this:Bust Dimes NumisMedia Price Guide-Good-MS60

Hard to say but from photo but like about like a XF-45 or AU-50...

I think this is worthy of banner, and am voting for you!
