    Capped Bust Dime!

    Today was a complete washout. So I had no work and my wife was babysitting a house full of kids so Sniffy exited stage right. I went back to my old faithful site with no real high hopes of finding much. This time I focused on the same area I found my first capped bust dime..Not 5 ft away from the same exact spot I found the other dime I got the very same signal at the base of a very large oak tree. This signal was very faint, but consistent. Penny/dime bouncing to Quarter. I was totally pumped, because I just knew it was a coin. Sure enough, 1836 Capped Bust Dime in as good condition as the last! I guess I can only find good stuff when it's pouring down raining. I also managed 3 buttons. One Pewter, one shank-less, and one with the thread still in the shank. Thanks for lookin!

    I told myself I'd keep you and George as far away from this site as possible Actually Id like to meet up with you to discuss different programs....I've been using the one you inputed long ago, but I feel I need a better edge with this machine.

    Nice dime, hard to believe they were there so close to each other for all of these years. I am sure you will pull some more out of there!
