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!

Great day of hunting and finding! I could sense your excitement thru the video. When I was into collecting coins a hole or a scratch ruined a coin for me but now it just adds to it knowing that someone cared enough to make the effort to hold on to it or to personalize it. Congrats!!

Thanks smitty!, looks like alot of us pulled our best coins out this week! And yes I was super excited when I took it out of the ground. I was afraid the homeowner would want it but he had no clue what I had just said oh well that's nice. LOL!

Thanks again!
 

Beauty hunt Chris. Your silver count may not be breaking any records, but you're sure making them count. Lots of character to that Capped bust
 

That hunt had everything,
Jewelry, old Silver Coins, and some cool "What is this?"
FANTABULOUS!!
thanks alot! Lots of fun that day! I couldn't be happier

Thanks steve!, just happy to be getting out a "bit" more than last year. Major home renovations almost complete so I have a little time here and there to sneak out and get my stress relief on. I think I like this capped bust more than my 1728 Spanish 1 reale!
