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!!

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!!

Super great finds! WOW!
You can likely find your Chinese coin on this site

Chinese Coins

they have all the symbols, description, histories and photos of coins,
for most all the dynasties - who knows, it may be the oldest coin of the lot!

That coin is FREAKIN' GORGEOUS. HUGE congrats on that one. You deserve to live on cloud 9 for a while.

The other finds ain't too shabby either.
Congrats on an awesome hunt.
