I Got in a couple of hunts last week. One quick hunt with Dan and another one on Sunday that was a about 6 to 7 hours with Dan, Nate and I. Friday Dan and I resisted the urge to go back to the place we had just found two large cents and a barber. We wanted to give Don a chance at finding a LC since they would be hunting the site the next day.
Today was a tough day of hunting. Battling prickers, saplings, dead branches, golden rod, sawgrass, you name it – it was there. At least the weather was nice and It was the first full day of hunting I have done with my son since August. The day started slow with the usual stuff:
The most memorable came at the end of the day. We found a new site that had two very old wells. I worked around the first well and got an IH. Nate was working the area too. After a bit I went across the road to the second one. This one was even more impressive.
After working the area I dug up a V Nickel(couldn’t tell at the time). I then went back and told Nate that I had found an old nickel and that the hunting conditions were better where I found the nickel. So I hunt some more and Nate comes over and he inquires about the Nickel. “What is it?” he asks. “I don’t know. I’ll have to check it later” I reply. Annoyed that I didn’t want to immediately find out what it was he asks “Why not just do it now?” So, back to the car I go to get my toothbrush and some water. As I’m working on it at the car Nate comes running back and exclaims “Oh yeah, I scored!” It was a ______! See his post:

Coin stuff:
Also found a beat up old silver spoon with some engraving on it:
Dan told me that these markings on the back tell that it was made in England:
Finally, what I though was a grommet turned out to be a token with a hole in it. The front reads “Very Good Groceries” but the back is hard to read…
Too bad. Would have been a very cool token. As it is I guess it’s ok.
HH all and enjoy the fall.

Ken, It's fine with me - If I had found that LC I don't think I ever would hear the end of how earlier in the week Dan and I went off and found our Large Cents without him. 
Maybe you could find a site with some civil war stuff......
