So I didn't plan on getting out today after I woke up with a very bad back ache , after laying in bed I thought I could swing in the shade at the local park for a bit. I found four wheat there and decided to go ahead and pack up and head toward home. I grabbed a bite to eat and on my way home I decided to stop at the local Creek. I've never hunted it but have heard rumors of old coins being found there. I went a couple hundred yards up the creek and only found junk, so I turned around and headed back. I got a high tone and scooped up what I thought looked like a quarter , I couldn't believe my eyes after I looked at it closer. 1807 half cent ! WTH?! So I left and went home and decided I should go back again in the evening. I got pretty lucky and found an 1892 plain Barber dime. Man , it's so awesome I never thought I'd find a draped anything. ....
What? Draped bust half cent !

Nice coin J.
These old watering holes can have some good stuff around them.
There is no telling is this spot was a great place to cool off 150-200 years ago.
Keep hitting it until there are no more signals.
