Three Fine Ladies and Six Little Indian's

Hi all,
My partner and I got out yesterday, our last nice day up here in Ohio. We started out to go to the Happy Trails site and ended up at a Old Church Site.

We got permission from the owner to hunt the field, that we thought was a One room school house, turns out it was a Old Church Site. A guy came over and talked to us and told us the site we were hunting was in fact a church site and that they had moved the Church down the road.

We Had A GREAT day at this site. I just love Church sites that lay in bean fields. Gary started off finding a number 12 Sleigh Bell. I walked down the field and got a signal, reach down and told my partner you can keep your sleigh bell, I'll keep what I've found. It was 1887 Seated Dime.

Gary went on to find a Crystal White Laundry Soap token, a 1898 Barber dime, he also found a 1877 Seated dime, a 1902 V Nickel and four wheat penny's.

I ended up finding a 1903 Barber Quarter, a 1887 Seated Dime, 1938 Mercury Dime, 6 IH's 1888, 1897, 1904, 1907, 1907, one no date and 4 wheat's.

We really had a great day, Hope your's was just as good. HH, Ringfinder

I' not sure I've ever said this to another man before, but, um.........nice bell.

I love the IH pennies, I'm starting a collection. Boy would it be cool to get more than one a day !!

Here are some more pictures from the site. It is my ACE 250 and the hole where the Barber quarter was found.

Enjoy, HH, Ringfinder

P.S. I forgot, I didn't find a ring but my partner did. Some gold inside but none on the outside of the ring.

Re: Three Fine Ladies and Six Little Indian's

That was a great day!

I love the indians...like the way the green shows.
I like copper and bronze patinas. In the right ground, they can come out prettier than when they went in.

Outstanding research, Ringfinder. When did the church get moved to a different location?

Hey, there are half dimes waiting for you guys in that field.

Re: Three Fine Ladies and Six Little Indian's

Another awesome day for you Denny. Getting tired of that "common" silver? ;) :D

I never thought I would get tired of digging silver rosie's and mercs. And I still am not but the IH's, barbers and seateds are much more exciting to dig. ;D ;D ;D

You had a great day, Ringfinder! That was great research you did there! Like Zoyboy alluded, there are 5 cent silver coins in that field!
