    1908IH, in a park I used to play in as a kid, right by a stone stairway into the woods.

    Must have passed that coin dozens of times 50 years ago; and it just waited there patiently for me to rescue it in 2006.

    "The mantra has always been don't clean a (copper) coin or it will lose value.
    For undug coins this is true.  For dug coins this is untrue.
    The value will increase with judicious cleaning."

    Re: what were your oldest finds of 2006?

    I feel kinda silly for even posting this one as it's 'spanking new' compared to most of the others posted, but I am just getting started so for me, it IS the oldest find so far this year . It was a 1964 Nickel found in an old church yard yesterday. I am going to start getting pictures of my finds (that are worth sharing), I just have to find the cable to the camera so I can put them on the computer!

    1805 large Irish penny. Found at a Dublin Ireland park while on vacation in September. Found out today that it is
    illegal to hunt most places in Ireland! Got away with it! ...Luck of the Irish!
