Beautiful day to be out. Congrats on the finds and a bit of silver. That buckle has some nice details on it.
About 24 varieties of 1803's and yours appears to be an earlier die state of S-255. The one in the link is die state 4 with the beginning of a rim failure at ST, your coin was struck earlier and does not have the die defect. http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s255.jpg. Good hunt, you say you also got a Liberty Cap? Seated silver and old coppers with some relics to boot make for a good day pingin............

Some great finds, love that draped bust. Any LC with bust facing right has eluded me so far, but....someday. Nice looking seated and all in all you had a great day of digging.

At least he didn't call it a "bow" like someone else we won't mention! :thumbsup01: :lol: (Just teasing, Rob!)
Those are some terrific finds, Gary! That 1803 Draped Bust still has nice detail on it! And wow, that 1853 Seated Dime is a looker too! I love those older seated dimes that have wide rims.
Congrats on the fantastic finds! :clapping:

Very cool. Looks like you have an ox knob in the pile also.
