Capped Bust and Spanish Real in less than 2 hours

[SilverSal]

Well the corn finally came down in a field I have been waiting to get on. I researched this area beforehand and this field was part of a village that was gone before 1900. Well research paid off! 1827 Capped bust dime, my second capped bust of the year, and a 1778 Spanish 2 Reales with a counter stamp, which is now my oldest silver coin ever. Was a great 2 hours and am going back repeatedly until I can't break through the ice...Thanks for looking

Excellent! Never seen a Capped bust dime. Is the size comparable to a dime today?

I would be hunting that site like a mad dog until it was time to plant corn again!

 

[SilverSal]

Yes the Capped dime is basically the same size as a dime today. Maybe just a little bigger

WTG, so rewarding when research pays off big-time. Hope you that you have a large coil in your arsenal for the rest of those goodies.
