1858 half dime with F-75

Got my first silver coin of the 1800's today with the F-75 at the relic site I have been hunting...1858 half dime!! It was about 50 yards from the iron pit in an area I had not been over yet..only 2.5 inches deep. It read a solid 64. I pay no attention to numerical readings here as you dig everything that gives a partially good signal. Also got an Infantry eagle button. When I called my wife to tell her my daughter answered cell phone as they were travelling...told them I found an old half dime...my daughter told her I found half of an old dime..they could not figure out why I got excited at that...I had to explain that it was a fully intact coin that was called a half dime.

What'll they think when you find a 3-Cent Nickel !? ...... Or a Half-Eagle.
