Draped bust silver ?. Those are incredibly hard to find!!! Forget about the rest of the stuff ? That coin is sweet!!!

Thanks!

Well certainly the buttons play second fiddle to the coin, but a dozen in one day... That doesn't happen often either. ? I simply found a small hotspot.

Honestly I'd have been happy with the buttons alone. ? 

It's a little bigger than a Trime, but smaller than a half reale. I'm grateful it had enough on it to identify

What a fantastic find man! Wow!!!

Thanks Deathray,

It's certainly in the top 3 of stuff I found so far this year. Hunches, experience, and knowing my detector are paying off...

... Now to find something that is in great shape. ? It would be cool to pay for all my gear and then some. I've found some priceless stuff but those are other stories, and I'm not selling those things.

I'm jealous. Fantastic finds.:blink:

Thanks, there are a lot of finds yet to be found, I'm not done yet. ? No need to be envious tho, as we say here "if you ain't looking, you ain't finding". ?

Stellar find for sure!

Thanks Dave,

Every time I think I have the find of the year, something else turns up. Costs a lot of money in shoes ?

I hoped @GB_Amateur would stop by seeing "silver", but I will invoke the Coin Master. ?

Ok, you woke me up.  The way your year has been going I'm surprised it's not an 1802.  (Then you would have awakened me from a deep sleep, just from the ruckus 600 miles distant.)

Half dimes are tougher to find than dimes given their smaller size, as most know.  Then there's the cutoff date (last minted 1873).  My guess is that yours was extremely worn already when the hole was put into it.  Either way, great the date survived and exciting to find a rarity, even in this condition.

You're setting bar high for the next 10 months!
