Triple large cent, silver, tootsie car kind of day!

[cjon455]

Wasn't going to go out today but Bill was generous enough to take me to a spot of his. (Thanks alot bill!) Killed it with 3 large cents, pewter spoon handle, awesome crotal bell, and some musket balls. After that I did a little door knocking and got a small permission that was hit before. Got 4 wheats, a nice .925 ring (silver 13 fty), a couple Sunoco tokens, a neat shield with an E on it, a "44" tag, and the craziest find from there, a freakin tootsie car spill! All 4 cars in 1 hole! A fun day, thanks again bill! Thanks for looking and hh!!

Nice assortment! Your shield thingy is the monogram from a motometer, from around the 1920’s.

Excellent outing. Seems that we're getting close to a time limit of sorts. The large cents seem to have a final expiration date. Wonder how long one can last underground?

Great to be able to read anything on them anymore.

Good job!

Good job!

thanks Gary! These are farm fresh fertilizer trashed large cents. I've been fortunate to dig some at regular homes and not fields that have been in terrific shape. Not as much as I'd like though lol

Thanks again!

Congrats on a great day of hunting. I might have guessed saddle shield (more modern one) had nhbenz not chimed in. Excellent ID. Those look like some typical smoked farm field coppers. But a copper is a copper I always say. Keep at it bro.

Oh, I know. It's the conditions of the soil that determines. But, sometimes I wonder. Just how long can a piece of copper remain readable? Even copper oxidizes. How long before it becomes unreadable, forever more? 300, 400 yrs?

I know, I know....Cru' finds coins back to the beginning of time.

Still....I wonder.

Anyway, in another 2-300 years, remember where you heard the theory first!

Wow. You had a day! More LCs than is west coasters will find in a lifetime.
