    recent old silver

    Been a long time since I've posted, but I've had a couple of nice finds lately -- an 1803 half reale, and an 1830 bust half, both pretty sweet looking, so I figured I'd post, for my old friends here. HH everyone.

    The cap bust half is one of the best dug coins I've seen. Amazing

    Found the half today,and the 1/2 reale about a week ago. Both at the same site. A field with alot of dead where you can go 5 hours or more with just a single high tone that turns out to be a colonial buckle, not a coin. Tough detecting at its best, but it worked out, at least in this case.

    Randy, great recoveries. on that fantastic looking 1/2 dollar. Most of us would walk for a whole day if that was the only high tone.....or in some cases a very high VDI.
