Old Victorian Greets me with a large copper.

[JerV3]

Hi all, Hope you don't get tiered of me here. Just starting to get out alot again. My friend has been going crazy and calling me everyday to hunt. I feal bad because he hasn't found anything great here since we started hunting again. He has a good machine but hasn't swung it to much over the years. We only had about? 1 hr and 15 minutes to hunt today.

We started the day me him and my 2 boys at a old park. We can't hunt much with the kids sticking there feet in our holes and every thing else you name it. But we managed to swing around them. It was slow at the park. I was hitting a area at the egde of a ballfield andu saw a nice section of woods cut out behind this old home.

I wasn't to sure if I wanted to hunt it because I'm sure someone owned it and I didn't want to be in there back yard digging. There was no lawn it was all just dirt. I looked around and said I'm gonna hit it. If someone yells I'll deal with it then.

Within 2 minutes of just stepping into the edge of the yard I got a solid 85 on the dfx locked on dug down about 5 inches and out it popped. I was almost certain it was a large cent. My friend came over we scanned over it. No one yelled or said anything to us. I got a couple wheats a buckle and a awesome little lead indian. I think I like that more than the large cent.

The large cent is in terrible shape. I think it is a 1810. But I will have to work on it over the weekend. I'll post back when I get it cleaned more. You can only see detail when it's wet. I'm pretty sure I saw 1810. I hate to clean them when there in this bad of shape. I may lose the date that you can't even see as it is now unless it's wet and then it's still not clear. I'm out of a product I use to polish coins with. I will have to get some tonight.

Thanks for looking. I'll update this with a better pic of the coin and a exact date if I get one.

Aw, Jer, how could we get tired of looking at all your good stuff. Keep it comin'.

 

[comfyinvermont]

Great find Jer. Congrats. Those Classic heads are hard to come by. I think I would find out who owns the woods and then spend a lot of time there. Where there is one, you know there are more. Lance

Re: Old Victorian Greets me with a large copper. Updated pick.

Thanks everyone. Well I am happy I found it. It is in by far the worst shape coin I ever dug. It's my second one this year. The other one is in way better shape than this one. The ground just destroyed it. Our grounds are really rough on the coins around here. Even silver gets beat up.

I wasn't even supposed to find this coin today so I'll settle for just having another old coin to the collection. I never got a clear date off of it. I am almost certain it is in the teens though.

It is one for the tumbler for sure. I need to pick one up. But I rarely get a coin in this bad of condition.

Great digs, WTG!!!
Those old metal figures do have more style, and charactor then most of any theses days, huh? I like' em too...
Good luck & Happy hunting~

 

[rabajohn]

I would have called it a GREAT hunting day just to find the lead Injun. Don't get me wrong, I like the other stuff too! Next time you go there and you find a lead cowboy, don't be surprised if he's missing his scalp. More good luck...

 

[JerV3]

Thanks alot guys. Sorry to let some of these go so long. Been busy and been posting alot and it makes tough to reply to all of them. I liked that lead indian alot. I actually just found another soildier similar to him. They are some cool little toys.

Thanks again Jer

Thanks machamby. I work really hard for my stuff. It's difficult to find things here like it is else were. I have a different grasp on the hobby than most people. I have figured out were treasure hides and come across alot of potential places that way. The more time you spend the more you learn. You'll figure things out alot more about how people used these lands long ago after you have found a few or so locations that turn out to be gold mines. There's alot of spots that magazines don't tell you about. But at the same time your faced with challenges also.

For those of you who haven't made the greatest finds yet keep searching. There's alot of treasure still out there. One must have top notch equiptment these days to excel. I don't care what the guy says about a 200.00 machine up against a 1000.00 or more detector. The better you have the more you will find. They desighned them that way. If they didn't everyone would run a mid grade detector.

Keep searching everyone. It's there. It takes work and motivation to find it.
