Good times on the old farm today

[BomberJohn]

Back out at the farm I've been working the last couple weekends. The same place I got 3 nice old buttons. Well, today I finally started finding some coins. 5 minutes in I pulled up a 1916 Canadian Large Cent. My first. Then a while later I plucked a 1903 IH Penny. I crossed over into another field and 10 minutes into it, an 1885 IH Penny popped out. My Oldest IH to date. Later, I pulled out a mysterious large copper coin. Hoped it was a KGII/III. When I got home, I determined it was a Liberty Head Large Cent with an unknown date. Then, I found 3 silver dimes within a half hour. Besides a ton of misc. bits and pieces of farm equipment and junk, I also fond a musket ball and a crotal bell (Another first).









All in all, a great day. Thanks for looking.

HH,
John

Thanks everyone. It was a good day. First I've ever had like that.

A Crotal Bell is a round "Jingle bell" or "Sleigh bell". This is a modern version.
