Goat's Best for 2010 (yep......with the V3i)

[Goat Rancher]

Looks like I am done for the year. I don't do cold weather hunting. There is snow on the ground and more coming. I got a late start this year for detecting as I had too much other stuff going on. I didn't get started until June, but found lots of old coins and silver for the collection. I picked out what I consider to be the 3 best finds for this year. One is an 1820 Large Cent which is my oldest coin to date. Another is my oldest silver coin to date; a 1835 Capped Bust Dime in EF40 condition which would push the value to around $300. This is my second Capped Bust Dime, the first was 1837. And last, but not least is my oldest half dollar to date; a 1893 Columbian Half Dollar. This is from the Chicago World's Fair and is the first commemorative coin series minted in the U.S.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all !

Those are all nice finds, especially when you consider your region. I have yet to dig a capped bust...any denomination.

I hope you stay active on the forum until your next outings. As for me? As long as I can dig I will be digging!

Thanks for the kind words everybody. It was a blast digging those three keepers. Kind of gets the blood pumping and keeps you going through those slump periods we all have. Thanks again and Happy Hunting.
