just got back from a short hunt with my brother near Jackson, Michigan. Dug this 1856 half dime at 4 inches. said thank you to the Almighty, and didnt care if I dug anything else. obtained permission at a random house that was near a college site in the mid 1800's and do have permission to go back :-). my brother eyeballed a 1893 IH on top of the ground on the crest of a hill that was kinda gravely (his first 1800's coin) couple of lantern peices and part of a harmonica reed. Also, a clock face that looks like someone practiced inscription on it. thanks for looking all. Griff

Really cool coin my friend! That's the oldest thing to come out of Jackson in awhile. If it's in the air, then I hope I'm next in line! ffd
