She's old and worn, but I'll take it! (Bucket lister)

Hello all. Today I hit a new location that had tons of potential. Unfortunately I don't think I was the first to ever detect there as there weren't many good signals. I finally got a pretty good high-ish tone but it didn't seem very deep. I popped the plug and was finally able to locate the target. Based on the size I was really hoping for a trime or a half dime. I was trying to decide whether to take a pic at this point since I had no idea what it was and it could very well be a button with my luck. I finally decided to take the pic not knowing what it was at that time. Went to the car and got some water to splash on it and saw Lady Liberty sitting. Woohoo!! My first seated of any type. 1855 Half Dime.

Later when I got home I ran water over it and noticed several dings and scratches. I find it hard to believe I did ALL of them, but it is what it is. I soaked it in some diluted lemon juice for a bit and it sorta cleaned up a little. Wish it was in better shape, but I'm glad to have found it.

Still not sure what it is at this point...


It's probably in worse shape than the pics convey.




Yesterday I went a park I have been to once before. I ventured off the beaten path and found this IHP (and a Wheat back) in the same hole. I wish the half dime was in as good a shape as the IHP.





Thanks for looking. GL and HH.
