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

Ringfinder, are you sure there used to be a church there? By the looks of your finds it had to be a bank that had a hole in the vault. Cha-Ching... nice finds.

Another awesome day for you Denny. Getting tired of that "common" silver?

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.

No Bob, Gary and I just happened onto this site. I have old county maps from the 1800's and all the townships in each county. We were just driving along and I got a county map out and told Gary to see if anything might be close by. We saw what we thought was a old school site. Turn out to be a Church site. I really love church sites from the 1800's. They had such great picnic's and get togeathers back then.

Thanks again to everyone who replied to my post. I guess it just goes to show you, there are so many places to hunt, you just have to do some research to find them.

Hopefully we can get back to finding those common coins again, but the weather is getting really cold. Guess we will have to put on more clothes and maybe hand warmers. Ha Ha those common coins will warm up our hands and throw in a few IH's and we will be hot hot hot.

HH All, Ringfinder

Re: Three Fine Ladies and Six Little Indian's

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.

Not really sure, but it would have to be after or aound the 50's or later, cause we found some wheats around that age.

Hope we do find some of those Half dimes, or five cent silver coins, that would be awesome!! Thanks for your reply.

P.S. Hope to go back to that site next week, if it isn't snowing by then!

Hey Right On DoyBoy, I'm not sure how many you have found, but just a quick check and I counted 64 so far this year for me, and Gary told me he has found 80 of them. One of mine is a 1859 and I just checked, Gary just found a 1876 IH in very good condition.
