Not in the best of shape but I'll take them. Two 1850's,52 & 53... I can't get a date off the fatty. This place was on the 1867 map but gone on the 1882. Corn stalks two feet tall, thank god for the 5" coil!!!!! Can't wait till it's in beans... GL&HH....

That's great. Short hunts are always the best hunts and man did you do well!

Interestingly enough, the coinage act of 1857 basically made large copper coinage forbidden (amongst other things), and people were required to exchange their large cents for the smaller ones.

I apologize - my mind is meanders early in the morning;)

Great hunt.

Very nice results for a 2 hour hunt in high cornstalks! The LCs actually look like they will clean up pretty nice.
