Had a great hunt today with a buddy. Lots of diversity, a musket ball, 5 buttons, a wheatie, two Indians (1879 and 1903), an undatable King George II, a 1911 Barber Dime and a 1833 Liberty Cap Half Dime! So happy to check the half dime off the bucket list!

Thanks so much! I did include close ups of the front and back. Are those good enough?

Congratulations on getting such an awesome find! Is it the same size as a seated half dime or slightly larger? Best wishes and HH Dave.

Congrats on the half dime! Looks like you've got a big field to detect there. A return trip, or 2, or 5 looks to be in your future.

Thanks! Actually, that's not even 25% of the farm....it's huge! It's a well known field and the Hoover Boyz even did a video there. It's been hit hard over the last few years, but if you put time in you'll still find stuff. I walked 3.3 miles on the field yesterday over 6 hours.

The guy who invited them to the field is the same guy who showed it to me. If it wasn't for him I would still be digging clad.

What a great find. It always amazes me how nice those capped coins look. It seems everyone who finds one also gets one that is in great shape. WOW amazing coin. WD

Great finds. Never know what will pop up in a field. I like hunting fields. Although it might take 6 hours to hunt a field it sometimes pays off big.
