I got out yesterday for 4 hours at the new spot I posted about a few days ago - my "field of dreams" post.
Last Tuesday I had a record day with 6 silvers. Then I went back later in the week and broke that record with an 8 silver day. Yesterday I got 17 silver coins, 4 war nickels, 2 buffalo nickels, 43 wheat cents, and other odds and ends you'll see in the pictures.
One of the best finds of the day was the 1866 Six Pence. I know that the property has been in use consistently since around 1850, so this find was very welcome. It was my second oldest coin ever, the first being a 1837 Canadian half-cent. Funny how my two oldest coins are not US coins.
Anyways, here are the pictures (I apologize for some of them being turned up on end - I either need to kill my camera or use something other than photobucket to host my photos)...
Everything but the silver:
The dirty silver:
Six Pence:
The silver and buffalo nickels:
Five Mercuery Heads:
Ten Rosie's:
One Quarter:
These are the first Buffalo nickels I've found in about 10 years:
Non-coin keepers:
I don't think this is a ring, as it is man sized, but looks like it would be for a woman. It is gold tone, and has a little loop on it that may have held a bangle of some sort:
Sterling child's bracelet:
Two really old pocket knives - I wish they were in better shape:
And finally the wheaties are on the left - the oldest are 2 1919, and one 1925. The rest are mostly from the 40's and 50's:
Thanks for looking, and I will be hitting this site again next Tuesday for about 4 hours again, even though it is suppose to be around 87 degrees next Tuesday. I'll let you know how I do, but I doubt I can top the record I set yesterday.
Happy Hunting!
