I decided to took a break from Colonial-era hunting today. So, I traded the farm fields for one of my favorite coin-shooting spots. Boy, am I glad I did. I got 10 coins all dated pre-1900. They include 4 seated dimes, an 1872 Canadian quarter, 2 Indian Heads, a 2-cent piece, a Shield nickel and a V-nickel. The icing on the cake was a beautiful gold cross. Also got a nice buckle.

Oh yeah, I'm loving my new 11" Pro coil :icon_sunny: !!!! This spot produced a whole bunch of Seated coins back in the '80s. But, it has really been slow the last several years. But, not today. I'd like to think the coil had something to do with that.

Not pictured is the pocket full of shotgun shells, pulltabs, and other junk. As good as the day was I really had to work for it all. Lots of digging in the almost 7 hours I was there...

Here is a pic. The cross is engraved with a flower pattern. The picture doesn't do it justice.



Thanks for looking,

Brian in MA

Whats not colonial about the buckle, looks like its late 18th century.
