*Scarce Sheldon 63* 1794 Liberty Cap Thicky + King George III Halfpenny

[Kyle PA]

KKC got permission to hunt two sites yesterday. The one site we are going to hunt next Saturday. It is a horse pasture and it looks quite promising!

Here is a pic of the field we hunted today! As you can see, it was a beautiful day on the Pennsylvania frontier!

​

The day started off with us finding another "Hick Outpost," but this one was around the Civil War era. From my research, I knew there was a late 18th century dwelling on this farm, but we just had to find it. Folks, find it we did and the goodies were keeping us giddy for a few hours!

I dug the nice King George III halfpenny not long after finding this early dwelling on the farm! Here it is after retrieving it!

​

I also dug my first Liberty Cap thicky; it is dated 1794! Here are pics of it in the field!

​

Here are pics of the cleaned up finds for the day! Look closely in the date region of the Liberty Cap, because the date is super clear!

We are looking forward to hunting the new site on Saturday!

The finds in this post are Top Notch. But what I think is even better are the photos! Get's my blood pumping to dig some oldies. Man, it's hot here....ugh! Humid sticky mess.

Nice work, guys!
