I got a couple hours in yesterday at the farm where I found the crossed cannons insignia last week. I had a pretty good hunt with an 1848 Large Cent, 1862 fatty IHP, 1908 IHP, 1904 Barber dime, a beautiful 1916 Canadian penny, and couple very old marbles. Also got some early wheats including a 1909. Of the 22 pennies from this yard 8 were IHP, 12 wheats, 1 Canadian, and only 1 Memorial.

Here is the group shot

I found these two marbles which I believe are both 19th century. I can't take credit for digging the swirly one. A mole dug it up. It was just laying there in his little dirt pile. The other one was in the hole with the 1904 dime. When I saw it in the hole I thought it was a musket ball at first. But I would take a marble like this ove a musket ball any day. I will post them on the Marble forum and see what I can find out about them.

And the obligatory dirt shots - LC and Barber

Thanks for looking

Another great hunt! The LC is my favorite, but I’ve never found a Canadian LC, so very cool coin there. The marbles are unique and a Barber to top it off, nice. Congrats!!

Nice saves!!!
Thanks Lairmo!

Thanks Thad. I had a case of Michelob Ultra for the farmer, but he wasn't home this time. Hopefully I'll see him before I drink it :laughing7:

I was happy with those marbles. In three trips I've found three marbles. I wonder how many are in this yard?
Great finds Steve!
Thanks Doc!
Thanks Casper!

What a great Hunt!!! I love everything you found especially that swirl marble I’m in love [emoji7]
Thanks Truth. I found out the marble you love is already married :laughing7: She was born is Germany, hand made, and is called an "Indian"
darn good spot! great marbles too, never pass them up. got to be some more in there
I usually like looking for older stuff, late 18th century/early 19th century, but this spot has been fun.

Thanks Why Me? Places like this are out there, you just have to knock on the right door!

Thanks Tommy. This place wasn't hard to find, but I was lucky that the farmer is so cool about me hunting on his property.
