UPDATED w/ VIDEO -- CAPPED BUST HALF DOLLAR !! from California no less!!

UPDATED with Video and Pics !!

Incredible night!! Mark and I have been hitting a Gold Rush Site and digging some nice relics. I got a sweet 12/46 hit on the CTX and called Mark over stating "You will like this one!" Knowing it had potential to be a great find, we videotaped the dig and what a SURPRISE when this baby popped out !! We went crazy as usual!! LOL

Digging any capped bust coin is rare here in CA (or anywhere) and to get a Capped Bust HALF is beyond belief!! We have dug more gold coins in CA than we have Capped Bust coins so this is a VERY SPECIAL find!! :hello2:

Thanks for looking. I usually have a video to go along with our finds but this needed to be shared ASAP so the video will follow in the near future!!

I'm still on Cloud 9 with this one!!

Just a crazy good find!!! Amazing and congratulations.
 

That's an awesome coin! Find of a lifetime for sure! :occasion14:
 

Thats Fantastic Ron!
The things you guys find in your neck of the woods are Amazing.
I know alot of time and effort has to go on for you guys to be finding that stuff out there.
Back east here its alot easier.
Congrats man.
I'm voting Banner on that reason!
 

What a great example of an early half for your area, congrats on the recovery.
 

Super great dig there. Those capped bust half dollars which have been found lately make my eyes pop.
