1831 Capped Bust Half Dime - 1787 CT Copper - 11 Silver

[angellionel]

This mild New England winter has been perfect for detecting, when one is able to squeeze in time to swing the coil that is. :yes: And the finds aren't too bad either. :loveit:

This is my second 11 silver day hunt this month. :happydance01:

The best of the silver coins is this sweet 1831 Capped Bust half dime. :drool:

The 1877-CC seated dime had me smiling just as much too. :peace:

And to top it off, I dug up a very nice 1787 Connecticut copper. :smitten: It makes my 18th copper this year.

I have found many old keys in the past, but none have looked like this one. :thinkingabout:

And the rest of the finds; a corroded Draped Bust large cent, my 5th Draped this year, a Indian Head cent, and several wheat cents.

[Epi-hunter]

By the way, that key looks like an antique clock winding key.

[Fire Fighter 43]

:wow: WTG Angel. There are a couple of dream coins for me in that pile. Is that record silver total in jeopardy for 2012? Wasn't it over a thousand a few years ago?

[Tony Two-Cent]

If I could have hunts like that I would quit my job and metal detect all the time! That first photo is the stuff dreams are made of. It boggles the mind!

You sir, are the Michael Jordan of metal detecting!

[jkress]

hmmmm... :confused: not even sure what I have words for this hunt. Except for You da man!

Look at how many periods of silver coins you have here. :twirlingeyes: Roosevelt, Merc, Barber, Seated and Capped Bust. <:
I can't imagine a hunt like that... must have been very exciting. Add the CT Copper :smitten: to the mix and you had a
hunt like the ones I expect to have if, in fact, I do make it past the pearly gate entrance one day. lol

What kind of depths were you pulling these coins from? I am sure they were quite camou:usaflag:ed with trash
but were they mostly deep?

Congratulations Angel.

That's not going to happen Jeff. lol Besides, my detecting time is limited. But I will have fun each time out, that's for sure. :yes:

The coins varied in depth actually, though the older ones were predictably deeper, 8 to 9 inches. :yes: The copper was at a good 10 inches.

[sniffy]

I guess i gotta start lookin in the coins section...dang angel thats an epic hunt.

[grumpymedic]

Wow!!! I would be happy with just one of those barbers!! Great finds!!

[JTGOLD]

[milco]

[CyberSage]
