    A couple notches off my bucket list

    I knocked a good little dent in my bucket list on New Year's Eve. I got a new permission in a small rural town that is pre civil war, and I believe it will be the best spot I've ever hunted. I found more silver in four hours than I had in a couple months combined. I dug two large cents but about two hours in I got that beautiful deep silver sound and dug bucket lister number 1. A 1823 capped bust dime at 8 inches. And no exaggeration within 5 feet of the capped bust I dug a half dime which is my first. I finished off the day with a barber half because the rain started pouring down. But it was by far one of the most memorable days of my life. GOD IS GOOD!!! I can't figure out how to post picture can someone help

    WTG, that was one great permission you acquired. Any capped bust is still on my bucket list even after 8 years, congrats on yours. Topping that off with a 1/2 dime, Barber 1/2, and a couple LC's makes this a fantastic hunt.....

    Congrats on your epic day. Never found a Capped Bust either. Those subtle out of the way places can be gold mines can't they?
