Oh boy A local rest stop = capped bust!

[Mark kus]

Well today I went to my mother-in-law’s for Labor Day picnic and I hit an old school for the deaf up not much there a few wheats and some clad.
So I was driving on my way home I saw this old rest area that I’ve been wanting to try so I stopped and parked. I set up the detector field 2 and started
I was amazed how few good signals I found as I worked my way over to the corner of the rest area Right in front of an big Rock I had a 20-21 signal.
I hesitated to dig it because I figured it was a penny but dug it and I stuck my pin pointer in the hole and it went off along the edge. So I carefully rubbed the edge with my finger
And a small black tiny disc fell I thought token or a trime I pulled it out and looked at it and saw the eagle on the back! I knew right away I had another capped bust halff dime!!!
1835 exact same year I found just about a year ago !!!
And in excellent condition also!
The coin I have it resting and I believe is a Connecticut copper You just never know if you have the hunch there may be a good spot local it pays to stop and try that was the only good signal I had in there I dug one clad dime also but was it worth the stop I think so.
I used equinox 800 field 2 recovery speed 6 no discrimination 21-22 sensitivity..

Super nice find! That coin has been in the ground probably for probably 150 years just waiting on you to find it. Seeing something like this makes me want to get my detector fired up and going.
