Hello everyone,
Had a good days hunt today. I was backroad driving and came across an outhouse in the middle of a field. I had to investigate that one right away. I knocked on a few local doors and buttoned down permission to begin the hunt. I noticed a lot of glass shards scattered all over. I ended up digging my oldest coin ever this afternoon. An 1817 Large cent. I was excited to see that. A large cent has always been on my wish list and now I can cross that one off. I still cant believe it. I followed it up with a silver thimble, (which I dropped back in the field by accident ) an 1859 Canadian Large Cent and what I believe is an old iron shackle. It has two holes on each end and one in the middle that I suspect may have been where the chain went. I'M not sure though. Can anyone confirm?

Your 1817 LC is an oldie and will be hard to beat. Love the Canadian LC, too. Congrats on your firsts! WTG 
I went back to the field today to try my luck again and it was freshly plowed. Its gonna be a long wait until next spring. ![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
