Arty and I got out today on one of his permission fields and I'm glad I went. Started off slow but ended up with a shocker of a coin. 1793 Flowing hair vine and bar edge in pretty OK shape for a field find. Also found a pretty Connecticut, only my 2nd ever.Also found a bunch of blow hole buttons a nice little button with a tall ship on it. A watch key winder attached to a ring, skeleton key and other cool doodads. Thanks again Art. We know this field has been pounded in the pass and we used our keen skills to choose paths less traveled to find the coins.:headbang:

Wow!!!! Look at the detail on that thing. :notworthy: I know there's a chain cent on the banner now but since this is different and the condition is so nice I'm gonna give you a banner vote to start off the festivities. Amazing find!!! :occasion14:

Thanks Evo! You sure dont see many found with only 60k minted. I was very excited to see this pop out of the ground in the small area of friendly soil.

Oh yah, she’s a beauty man! Fantastic banner worth find. I’ve found a 1785 Nova and a 1794 Lib Cap, but nothing in between. You got the big one and my banner vote is getting cast now!


Now how about a clean pic?! Congats
