Found a new cellar hole with my friend Gary today,1803 Draped bust,1853 Seated dime, unknown Liberty cap, what looks to be a lipstick case and some buckles.Theres not to many nice days left going to get out there tomorrow and hit it again. The ticks are insane!!
Beautiful day to be out. Congrats on the finds and a bit of silver. That buckle has some nice details on it.
About 24 varieties of 1803's and yours appears to be an earlier die state of S-255. The one in the link is die state 4 with the beginning of a rim failure at ST, your coin was struck earlier and does not have the die defect. http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s255.jpg. Good hunt, you say you also got a Liberty Cap? Seated silver and old coppers with some relics to boot make for a good day pingin............

Those are some terrific finds, Gary! That 1803 Draped Bust still has nice detail on it! And wow, that 1853 Seated Dime is a looker too! I love those older seated dimes that have wide rims.
Congrats on the fantastic finds! :clapping:
Very cool. Looks like you have an ox knob in the pile also.
