We have been out hunting the fields and today, two new cellar holes that were untouched. One dates back to the late 1700's and the other early 1800's. These are very far out and there are not many coins, but I was able to locate a really nice 1852 silver three cent piece, my first. It was at 6 inches and under two more inches of leaves. Rick found a couple of really nice buckles, and we both added some buttons. We got an old child's buzzer and the cap from E. R. Durkee & Co, New York that dates to 1860's. Think we will be heading back there tomorrow. Thanks for looking....Lance and Rick

Those are great finds, I'm glad your up North. I'm hoping to get out for the first time this year next week ;D . I was having trouble finding spots earlier but I just moved onto 18 acres of unsearched land. Sure wish I could find the spots like you.

That's a beauty! I've never seen one, that I can recall; it would be nice to see my first looking at me from the dirt!

A 3-center is one of only a few coins since 1800 that has eluded me. I'm also missing a flying eagle cent.
