This a collage of the last two days of hunting. Yesterday I hit a site I knew wasn't very old but I had permission for it since the farmer had other sites on his land. It was in corn and it had a ton of iron and I wasn't gonna stay for very long. I got the 1903 Indian and a couple of late 1800s merchant tokens. Neither was in the Ohio Token book but they were pretty neat finds no doubt. Later in the day I hit a couple of other sites that looked promising but only snagged 3 indians, the 1864 fatty, 1863 and the 1882.
Today was AWESOME! I got to a site that had a house on the 1856 map but gone by 1880. The farmer heard through the years that the house was moved off there and across the street (still standing today). Well I found the site and I started hitting flat buttons right off the bat. One ended up being a real sweet political button with E PLURIBUS UNUM on the back with the word "AMERICAN" around the shank. I also ended up finding the 1863 CW patriotic token sometime within the first 10 minutes of being there. Next came some coins. The first coin I got was the 1865 Indian "I believe", then came the most valuable find of my career. A sweet full liberty 1872 Indian. I couldn't believe it. The 1860 fatty, and 1852 LC came a little while later followed by the heartbreak of the day. A sweet CW buckle broke in half just like my other one. Hopefully I can have better luck finding the other half of this one.
I'm now down to 5 Indians for my dug set. The 1860 and 1872 were new additions
1869, 1877, 1886, 1908s, 1909s
