1857 Half Dime #2

[jkress]

With only 3 hours of hunting in the last 10 days... I was itching for some swing time.
Decided to head out of town this morning to a nice, quiet country site before the heat arrived for the day.

About twenty minutes into the hunt I was unearthing my second 1857 Half Dime of this season. <: I was quite surprised to
see this come out because my machine was suggesting something between an IH and zinc penny. Since the target was
down about 5-6 inches, I kind of expected to recover an IH.

I'm really shocked I was lucky enough to get my coil over two of them this season.

Also picked up a few wheats and what I think is an old ring. :confused:

The ground is getting pretty hard here. We could definitely use a good amount of rain.
