MY FIRST COINS FROM THE 1800'S TODAY!! YES!!
Today, was my best day yet. I detected my great-great aunt's house, who recently passed. The house was built in the 1800's. Found 5 wheaties, a 1940 Canadian penny; 1957 nickel, and THREE small indian cents!!! YES!!! these are my very first coins older than my 1914 wheat pennies. The dates on the indians are 1865(!!); 1896; and 1907. Also found some clad, some what-zits, a neat old boy scout button; some gears; and some trash and pull tabs, which aren't pictured. I'm so ecstaic that I found my first three really old coins! the indian heads are not in the best of shape, but I am still excited! each day keeps getting better and better for me. Thanks for reading, and Happy Hunting!

My first inroad into the 1800's barrier was an IH Cent. Still trying to break the 1800's silver barrier.
