Best field hunting day for me period! Got out to a new field bright and early. This site was gone before 1908, so I knew I wouldn't be digging modern crap. After finally finding the site, the first coin was a 1901 Indian. Next up was my third 2-cent of the year, a cooked 1865. A while passed and I snagged a nice 1832 Large Cent right on top of the ground. After getting that large cent I decided I would do a full dig on my video if I got another signal like that. The next row over I got a solid quarter signal really shallow. I popped out the camera and got a full dig of a super sweet 1877 CC Seated Half Dollar. This is my most fascinating find I have gotten. I've gotten seated half dimes, dimes, and quarters but never thought I'd scratch that one off the list. Now it was lunch time (to show the wife ).

Next field also was gone before 1908, so I was hoping for some more goodies before I called it for the day. I ended up getting a 186? fatty indian, an 1892 and 1875 Indians there. The find of the field was a very rare Civil War Store Card. I did a full dig on it because for some reason it came in as a silver quarter. Weird.

Enjoy the Video. The wind was howling and I didn't do a good job of blocking it. I apologize

Love the half dollar even with the hole in it, amazing how coins in the ground for so long can have such good detail still.

What a great bunch of finds. By hiking through all that mud, you definitely had to work for them.

What's the deal with all the coins with holes drilled in them on the old fields? Did they put them on a string in an attempt not to lose them or something? Seems like we find a lot of holed coins like that.

There are several theories out there for why they did the hole drilling. Could be any of them or all of them haha.

Awesome coins/token , There are many theories on why coins were "Holed" I think the string through then for one reason or another is the best one..[SEE American Digger M agazies vol 1 issues 1&2 I believe delves into this subject]. I dug my 1st &only Capped Bust half dime that was holed with a square nail ,at first I was kinda mad ,but now it & they intrigue me. Im thinking of starting a collection of holed coins the holes add a personal touch to them /but kill the value to normal collectors. Oh well very nice anyway .GOOD LUCK
