Thanks 1320. I think we met at a hunt in Lex. last year. I got the flying eagle by the ball park. This homesite I was told was a hospital during civil war, a post office at one time, a brothel, and mark twain lived there as a kid with his uncle. I do think I will return the bullets and 1829 capped bust to owner, it should stay with the home.

Nice finds, congratulations. Some of the people I told about me getting in to this hobby looked at me like I'm crazy. I hold to the idea that if I could pull one of those coins out of the ground, all the time spent researching this before getting started will be worth it.
