1862 Half Penny

[Digginman]

This morning I hit an old homestead behind the park. Lots of junk in the ground. I have no clue as to the history of this place. It is falling down, the barn has collapsed. I found this, it was my only keeper this morning. I don't know much about it except it looks British and is dated 1862.

Any help would be appreciated.

Well I know something about it... it was great digging it up for sure!

Nice dig! Not bad for the only keeper that was dug.

I'm sure I'll go back. It was hard diggin and it got very warm today. Supposed to cool off this week. I'll probably try again next weekend.
