That's a lot of nice coins. I've often wondered if I should research more modern sites and not just super old ones. It's a tough decision because I love seeing all of those nice silvers and I basically don't give myself a chance of finding them unless it's a random drop on a colonial site. Yes once in a blue moon you have a day like I had today but I'd still like to fins some of those nice 1800s silvers. My collection is pretty sad. I just can't seem to pull myself away from the super early sites. Really gonna be tough now lol

Haha nothing could be more true. :laughing7: Here I am all giddy and excited about the 1936 quarter I found, and already thinking how I will present it in Today's Finds, and I see Ahab8's shilling, and suddenly my sails fell flat. :tongue3:

Yikes! That's a lot of great stuff you have there! The silver is superb, and I really love the large cents. My area wasn't settled until the 1890's, so finding coins like my old 1883 IH cent are cool because they were dropped by the pioneers. I wish I had the chance of finding things older than that, but it's not going to happen around here.

Again, congrats on a great season, and stay warm!

Those are some pretty nice finds! You did well on the large cents. What is the oldest large cent you have in the picture?
