Another first from the fields -04/11

[Michiganne]

With planting looming ahead I am making a serious effort to hit my new field spots. I went out Wed. night and fought the corn stubble for a few hours. I was about ready to quit due to darkness when I got a decent signal and dug my first Canadian LC, 1859. I was very happy as it was at the top of my coin wish list. Also found a few doo dads, a BIG horse bit and a rusty part I am saving to show the farmer. Having more fun than a girl should playing in the dirt!

HH and thanks for looking,
Michiganne

You are one accomplished detectorist to have that coin on your list. I didn't know they made them! It is a beauty! Keep em coming!

No WAY!!! You just told me that was on your wish list! Congrats to you! My first one was also an 1859. I have seen many of that year, and they usually look good like yours. Happy for ya!

Yup, I was pretty excited Mike.

Here is my understanding: The Canadian LC's were first made in 1858. Actually called "province of Canada" LC's because they were not yet a country. They made them for two years (1858 -59) and then not again until 1876.

Nice condition on your first. I assure you mine don't always look so good.

 

[Michigander Dan]

Nice finds, especially the Canadian LC. What are those two things next to the LC? A button and a cufflink perhaps? Love that old horse bit too.

Wow nice dig Anne! LOve that patina on the Canadian and that thing is OLD!

Yes, I think a small button on the left and the other thing I was thinking maybe the piece that a suspender attaches to.

I almost gave up on the horse bit signal because I could tell it was something big. Glad I didn't now.

Congrats on the 1859 Canadian Large Anne! I have found only a few over the years, but the 1859, I had to buy on FeeBay.
