Thanks guys, I'm definitely very lucky to have good places to hunt! Found both the 1845&1866 at my great grandmothers childhood home which was bulldozed 60+ years ago. I'm gonna disc the field to get the corn down and hit the field again!!!
Wow! Your 1845 cent is absolutely stunning!
Looking forward to ALL your future posts -- even if you have days with nothing but junk, it'll be higher quality junk than I dig here, lol.
Have Fun! Andi
