Great coin day with the olddude!

[cjon455]

Got out with dave today for a marathon, we actually hunted 5 separate spots, most felt like they were cherry picked, the first site the owner gave us a sort of time limit, we actually hit it for about 90 minutes total, I only snagged a token and the 1863 fatty indian from there on to site #2, an early 1900s house, we didn't get much there either except I got a few more wheats and a 1943 merc down by the creek. On the way out I stumbled upon a copperhead snake, ugly freakin thing!, on to site #3 dave secured this permission and we hit it for about 2 hrs, I got a few more wheats and yes..................that ever elusive war nickel 1944P!! sorry dave!!! had some lunch and found site #4, again dave got the permission quite easily, and we can go back anytime the owner said, 1870s home, got a bunch of clad and by this point I needed 2 wheats to hit 100 for the year, and low and behold got 99- and 100 from there, with a measly 1914 barber dime mixed in between!! lol, I was pumped to get that barber!, we had to leave this place early too, all our hunts felt timed today! and finally site #5 a nice 1880 home, I secured that permission and the owner asked about a lost ring that sadly we didn't find, only got 2 wheats, a crotal bell, and a cool spoon from there, it started to rain pretty heavy so we went home after that. I must say im very satisfied with todays hunt!!


thanks for looking and hh!!

Awesome old coin finds,that fatty is in nice condition looks like an old pill case ya got too..

thanks, I had no idea what that thing was, it was attached to a small chain

Nice finds, Chris! Good to see an intact Crotal being found. Way too often they are found in pieces or at least with large cracks. And the IH is in nice shape too.

Thanks Keith, olddude found a bell also at the same place,ive found 4 or 5 other intact ones last year

We should give public thanks to Nepa-Will for researching the site where your fatty IH and my Tombac was found. We probably would have spent more time in the front yard of the parsonage because we would have thought it was just a barn/outbuilding site if not for his great work and selfless sharing of what he found out. Thank you Will!!!

That 1863 IH is a Great coin ! Nice job - what's up with the funny looking wheatie ? (a jewelry component ?)

I think the two prongs on the funny wheatie were to mount it to leather? Saddle bridle shoe purse etc…. IMO
Cheers on the finds!
