The weather here in Maine has been Incredible and holding!! 62 deg F yesterday and lots of Rain !! 56 today and clearing ! Perfect for M--ding ! In what I call the no silver field !! A big Huge farm field not to far from home that has been suppling hay to farmers scince the early 1700's. I have hunted this field 6 or 7 times already this year but it is big FIELD! Had 2 and a 1/2 hours today afterwork 2 hunt and conditions were perfect ! Just after a rain!! Signals few and far between in this field but has potential 2 be old!! Before today I had Managed to coax from this field, 6 Indians , earliest beeing 1862, An 1844 Bank of Montreal 1/2 penny token , 2 confirmed Colonial Buttons, and a few nice later flat button! and various 19th century farm tack! But not 1 silver coin ,, And actually very little clad , only the Pennys u see on the horseshoe was the clad 4 the day today!! Anyways today I got this 1826 Georgius IV cartwheel penny, These things are huge!! I hope the size comparisome Pics, with the 1828 US mint large cent come out ok cause these coins are quite a bit larger !! I am glad to get my hands on one. Also this nice old cast iron lock, Marked on the keyhole cover M. W. & Co. Which after a ittle research turned up as Mallory Wheeler & Co. Of New Haven CT. circa 1865, I am going 2 post A pic of the only M. W. Co. lock I could find on the net ! Not a match but it does confirm the same maker !
