When battling 2 Indians, make sure you're CAPPED and have a shield! 1820 capped bust!

[cjon455]

Wow! Not even sure where to begin. I went back to the house from about 2 months ago that gave me the 1857 Seated dime hoping for more of the same. Went back and forth side to side and ended up with a shield nickel two Indians, and 8 wheats. Decided to try to get another permission right around the corner at a house from the late 1800s. One of my first targets was the 1956 roosie, then I got a nice high tone, dug down and out pops my oldest United States silver coin, freaking 1820 capped bust dime!!!��, finished up with a Mercury dime three more wheats, and a bunch of odds and ends, what a fun fun hunt. Checked a big one off the bucket list!
Silver 18fty. Indian 19 fty. Wheat 117 fty

I'd have been running naked down the street or across the corn field after scoring all these goodies. I see two bucket list coins you got there I still need. Wowser. Mega haul on some great old coins. I also love the Davy Crocket ring. That would probably be enough to get me running naked for joy.

One hell of a trifecta!! Good Job

With the hole and the scratched number and initials, that dime has got some great stories built into it ! Much more interesting than a generic coin

What an excellent day. Great finds all around. Like the Davy Crockett ring too.

Wow! You better never go hunting with the "boys of brambles". They'd be planting stuff all over for you to find!

Ok....just throwing this out there....
I just read every post, and while I agree with everyone in this thread, I don't see one important factor that has been overlooked...

My Banner vote is in.
That capped bust dime, it's the bomb.
Congrats again my man.
