I was lucky to find a a really old site just outside of Pittsburgh 10 minutes from my home. My research shows this homestead from early 1800's to end of 1800's. First fatty IHP, first 2 center, first Reale, first holed coin, first LC. First 1700's colonial buckle frags, first dandy button. There are a couple areas that are overgrown now that I will hit in the winter, but this is a pretty good picture of a virgin 1800's farm site hunt(s).

Thx, here are some close ups.
1788 Half Reale
1846 LC
186_ 2 cent
1864, 81, 87, 88, 88, 90 IHPs
1875 Seated dime
I believe the holes silver 23mm coin is an old Silver Shilling, but too smooth for a positive ID
