Real nice looking, early half cent, which I'm sure you know are rarer than large cents. I've dug about 50 Colonial and Large Cent coppers, but only two half cents. 1797 Large Cent ain 't too shabby either!

Sounds like an hour well spent, with two great early American coins. I hope you find more on your next trip. What made you choose this particular field, did you research the site before asking the owner for permission?

Thank you.
My cousin and I have found a lot out of the field next to this property so figured it would be good too.

Congrats on the coppers. Don't see the half cents turning up every day. Nice condition on that one for sure! :thumbsup:
