Thread: Couple of 1st for me, Pocket watch and a seated half dime.

    Couple of 1st for me, Pocket watch and a seated half dime.

    Got out to a new permission, It was a long 6 hrs and the targets wer'e all good stuff other than some foil.
    The pocket watch was not gold but still happy I got one.
    The 1853 half dime is so small it must be the same size as a fishy (which I haven't got one yet)
    The 1918 Can dime was my second target I found.
    The 1916 LC is in pretty good condition.
    Take care and HH

    What a hunt! That half dime is awesome, it's crazy how small they are, isn't it? Those Canadian coins are very cool as well... great finds!

    Congrats on your first half dime! They are a tiny coin. Does yours have an "O" mint mark?

    No Tony there is not an "O". I'm not that lucky.

    Nice going on getting your 1st 1/2 dime. They sure are a small coin, you'd think that more of them would have been lost.

    That is a nice Half Dime. They are the equivalent to your 5 cent fish scale and should be pretty close in size. Congrats on a very nice hunt


    Al, I think a lot more of them are lost than what we realize. We are just now finding them because the technology has finally caught up to them. Just like the 3 cent silver coins too.
