Hey everyone, been awhile, life has been busy. Haven't hunted much at all lately due to scheduling conflicts, hot temperatures, bugs, and laziness 
these finds are from a few different short hunts. Been waiting for something particularly special to post about, I would say this fits the bill perfectly 
yesterday I had about an hour to hunt before I had to be home so the wife could go to work. So I went to a place close to home that has coughed up numerous colonial era relics and my only 2 reale. Also to note, that's really the ONLY descent coin to come from this field, not a single copper, wheat, injun, modern silver, or anything like that has come from this site. I think I might have found a clad Jefferson nickel there once, but overall, 99% relics and one Spanish 2 reale but its a fun, local spot to hunt and i always seem to go home with at least SOMETHING. 2nd target in, is a 6-8" bouncy high 80's low 90's signal on the AT Gold. I was thinking silver quarter, maybe even half, but I certainly wasn't expecting what came out pf the hole. A very nice 1821 capped bust dime, my first, and new oldest US silver, beating out my 1849 half dime, which ironically was exactly 1 year ago yesterday! The round ball object is interesting. Not sure what it's composition is, but its certainly not lead. Appears to have almost a sprue on it too 
I'm going with a homemade silver bullet 
it looks like the metal that most old bells are made of (not brass or copper-maybe tombac?), cant remember the name of it at the moment though 
I won't be cleaning that coin any further, I know it would look really nice cleaned up, but no way I would ever scrub a capped bust coin, especially after 8 years of looking for one. Also hunted a park today in the pouring rain with Bob a semi new member here, and came away with 2 wheats and a nice little .925 girls ring. Hope to be getting together again soon man, hope you cleaned up after I left! Not sure when ill be out again, hoping for Sunday, it will be at a drawn down river that I scored the 1837 large cent pictured above. Lots of fishing gear and trash, but also lots of old glass and the largie so I'm hopeful there's more. Until next time, good luck out there, and happy hunting!
