Hunted the hey field again after work today.
First few sweeps into the old area near the well, I get a 30-ish VDI (I don't remember the exact #)
Its only a few inches down so I pop a plug and check it. In the plug, OK shave the plug a little and the signal is in the hole.
man it must be small
Then I see a silvery rim. No, it can't be! My oldest silver yet
1852 Three cent piece
I hurried inside to put it on my desk, did not want to walk around with it and lose it.
Hunting till sunset I also found an 1859 injun head penny , first year issue!
Yet another large cent, looks like a 1834 matron head (yes, I hit it with the shovel )
and a 1944 wheat penny
plus some unknown bits.
The totals for this field will be going into best finds,
when I am done with hunting it.
Its a tough call, should I replace the large cent in my avatar with the silver 3 center?
I am trying to decide which is a better find

Donny
