So I decided to hike out about 45-60 minutes through the woods & up a mountain to get to a new site. Naturally there was a shorter, easier way to get there that I discovered later on, but anywho. The site had definitely been hit before. There was iron laying on top of rocks, and kids had turned the barn foundation into their local party spot - beer cans and broken bottles all over. It was looking pretty bleak except for an area that was cleared of rocks about 300 feet away from the root cellar. Dug an 1840 William Henry Harrison presidential campaign button (Harrison ended up being elected over Martin Van Buren and became the 9th president). This alone was enough for me to consider this a successful hunt. Then shortly after the button find, I stumbled upon a seven coin spill around a small piece of stone wall. A very exciting day to say the least. Here are the coins:

1856-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar
1878-CC Seated Liberty Dime (semi-key date!)
1877-S Seated Liberty Quarter
1876 Seated Liberty Quarter
1876 Seated Liberty Dime
1853 Seated Liberty Dime
1873 Indian Head Penny

Wow quite a rescue!, already up in the banner but I would voted for it.

I'd be happy to find any one of those coins or the awesome token.

Incredible Finds, eh?
I nominated Dust Eater's thread for Banner, but I'm sure it had millions of admirers by then, anyway....!

Late to the party but so happy for you and your finds. Congratulations on these banner recoveries. Luck for you to get them all in one hole. I wonder how many times you rechecked the hole and area after your last coin find in that hole! LOL

What a nice day for you! Great work.
I loved the "shorter way to get there" part, hahaha.
