1821 Capped Bust Dime!

I ran into some guys metal detecting a field about five minutes from my house. My powers of persuasion garnered me an invite to join them. I haven't been out much this summer. Work is getting in my way. However, I have been out enough to figure out that my tried and true custom Pitch Programs from the Deus 1 do not work for me on the Deus 2. I couldn't figure out how to keep the Deus 2 from falsing on nail beds in my Pitch Programs.

I'm now running my own custom 5 tone programs in Fast, Deep High Conductor and Sensitive with negative discrimination. I can't believe how smooth the Deus 2 runs in Deep High Conductor. My Deus 1 never ran smooth in Deep.

Yesterday, I found my very first Capped Bust Dime at a depth of at least 8 - 9 inches! :omg:Attachment 70485 Attachment 70486 I also found my first Classic Head Large Cent and this coin was somewhere between 10 - 12 inches down.Attachment 70487 Both targets were "whispers" on my custom Deep HC program but good enough to dig. I really can't believe how deep and stable the Deus 2 is and look forward to revisiting old sites in the future. Finally, here's a pic of the guys who couldn't resist my powers of persuasion.Attachment 70488

WOW! Great coin! Can you get a better pic? Congrats!! Isn't Deep HC ridiculous? I've gone back to old hunted out parks after we finally got rain this summer and cleaned up the deep silver. I can bump up the sense and the thing is quiet as a church mouse. I also mostly use Deep HC and 5tone fast. I haven't worked with Sensitive yet. What scenario do you use it?

I can't believe how stable that Deep High Conductor runs. It's so much more stable than the Deus 1 in Deep. I run my custom Five Tone Sensitive Program in really heavy iron. I use Negative Discrimination (-3.4) on 5 tone Fast, 5 tone Deep HC, and 5 tone Sensitive among other tweaks. Here's a couple of better pics.Attachment 70489 Attachment 70490

Huge congrats, Donnie! Was it a grassy field or a farm field?

That 1821 Capped Bust Dime is a beauty! It's in wonderful condition. They sure don't turn up often.

How did the Classic Head clean up? I'd love to see some photos of it after cleaning.

:congrats:

The two older gentlemen didn't find anything and are no doubt plotting my imminent demise. :lolsign: The younger guy (with the big smile) found a Classic Head Large Cent and a 1783 Half Reale so he's happy.

It's a grassy field that I have passed by a million times as it's only five minutes from my house. Apparently, there was a home on the site back in the day. The Classic Head was toasty but identifiable. I won't get a date off it. Here's some pics: Attachment 70491 Attachment 70492 Attachment 70493

Nah, they think I'm some sort of numismatic guru. No idea where they got that idea.

Yeah that is a fantastic old US silver! Great condition too. I have found one capped bust dime and it was also an 1821 but completely slicked out.
