SILVER at 1830's homesite

Me and my huntin buddy Randy (randyinarkansas) have been hunting this 1830's homesite for a while now and have found some nice stuff to include: 2 large cents, several buttons, and lots of non metalic items like bone dominoes, clay pipes, and lots of other stuff, but today i finally found some silver that i knew would be there.

1838 O Half Dime without stars and in exellent condition...only 70,000 were minted i have enclosed a computer scan of the coin.

Re: BANNER FIND!!!!!!!! Updated Pics of the 1838 O Half Dime..only 70,000 minted

How often do we see a half dime found on this forum. (SELDOM) I have never found one in the 12 years of detecting, I'm sure not many have either. GREAT, GREAT FIND Also I am fairly new the forum, I am not sure if you have a certain amount of posts to make banner.

My team and I have found 8 Seated Half Dimes in just under 2 years. They are not as uncommon as you might think. They were lost quite frequently--now Seated Halves are another story. If you coinshoot in terms of discrimination settings, the half dimes may read like aluminum, so that might be part of the issue.

No matter the value, I am sure you hold it in high regard. The value it holds to you personally is far greater than any value a book can put on it. Congrats a SWEET find!!
