Tom huge CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can appreciate all the hard work and countless hours that must go into finding a gem like that. Having recently relocated to a new area, I have been struggling big time in locating sites that are historic, accessible and producing.... But i know that's all part of...

I voted banner.. (Why the heck is this not a banner right now!?!?!?!?!?!!) Huge congrats!!!!!!!

Dang that is some incredible detail.... CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Posting for a buddy of mine that located this little gem a few months back. About 5/8" in diameter (smaller than a dime) and is pictured with a large paperclip. I am thinking pre Civil War and perhaps a collar button. Thanks for any insight!!

Agree-My favorite kind of dirty pictures!!

Nice doggie tag!! I get more thrilled each time I find an older one. Great finds all around! Peter

Thanks Glen! Hope you double up on your rings in 2015. Peter

Ahh!! You guys are right! :occasion14: I stand corrected-A Longacre Cent. Nice going on the correction. Don't know why I always thought that was a Barber design!! Thanks for all the great comments. Happy detecting for you all this weekend. :sunny:

Even more than the fronts, the backs with the clips intact is amazing!!!

Been hitting some nice old ground when I can, BUT finding just the time.... to detect seems to be the tuff thing lately!! :angry4: Well even though the hours are few, been very happy with the goodies I have found. The pocket watch is my fav. If only because most of the pocket watches I find...

Sparse finds??? Who cares with buttons like that!! Well done getting that away from your rattlesnake friend. Peter

+ Great question... I have seen coins like this-But in really good condition go for 200.00+ I feel this one will probably have a value at a fraction of that. This is a coin that has no value as far as a low production run-miss marks ect... But the value to me and how/where I got is priceless...

Hey thanks folks! Appreciate the nice comments. Yeah it was a real shocker... Never in a million years would I have thought I would find something like that! Certainly in the USA. Funny but I will take it for sure.

Amazing Glen at the varied finds you get out of the ground! And to have them silver is even better. Well done!! Peter

Thanks Glen! Yeah pretty amazing and the poor guy/gal all those years ago (100+ I surmise) must have been bummed to loose that the way he/she did.

Thanks Ronson.... Fun for me to be able to do that! Appreciate the note.

and the reverse..

On the mystery coin... Thanks to a bunch of peoples help (see Help Post here) the I.D. of the coin is made. Since many spent a fair bit of time on this, I thought I would reply in kind with a detailed composite overlay I did in PS to show in fact this is the coin that DCMatt and another person...

Well I have an answer to my mystery coin... Its not complete as far as real-fake ect... But please see my Help Thread to give a little more explanation. First I will show a few finds from 4 different hunts that yielded some goods. (Yeah four hunts but I was skunked on one-So really three)...

Yes and this one was probably minted 250AD which was almost in the middle of the coin run. The reason for the year is that the weight is nearly spot on. (Less the pitting and corrosion on my coin) Right now before going forward I want to be at least reasonably sure that is genuine. So far it is...
