So today I went to this new permission. 1750 FARM. Was not sure how it was going to be but was hopeful it was going to be productive. .And it was!!!! It started a little slow until the home owner showed me a pic of the house from 1850 that showed the family sitting on the porch and on the right hand side of the house there was a clothes line hanging there with cloths on it...Sooo thats were I headed...Let me tell you I only did a 30ft.by 30ft area and it was a colonial kind of day...It started with a 1749 king george half penny then 1753 half penny the 3rd coin not to sure?? I believe its a 1600s farthing. .any help would be great..Then I found a political token..As u can see it says on one side FOR President in 1876 and on the reverse it says FOR VICE president 1876..Pretty cool...and last In the same hole a 1800 and a 1803 half cents...I love draped bust...lol...Look forward to going back I have about 4 more acres to do...The said news is I promised the owner I would give him everything he wanted...and guess what?? He wanted everything. ..Oh well...I had fun..And I got some pics...Thanks for looking. .
GEORGE. ..

Nice hunt. It's a shame you didn't get to keep something.
 

Great finds and fantastic coil by the looks of it!

Greedy owner hah Lesson learned I guess. Be selective with what you show him if it's going to play out that way.
 

Hey Vino , What a site and the finds are,,, Best Dug Quality,,, You may want to re negotiate a 50 /50 split with that property owner , where is the fairness when the homeowner gets the entire pie , c'mon what's that about ,

awful one sided imo :dontknow:

rockin day man. excellent finds, thanks for sharing with us
 

Awesome hunt, Vino but you should have got to keep some too. The owner probably thinks those old coppers are worth a fortune. Boy, is he going to be disappointed, lol! I hope you find the silver that is waiting there next time and get to keep it all. Thanks for showing us.
 

very nice saves and digs!!
 

Wow! Stellar hunt! Incredible old coppers!

Thanks dude...I told him there not worth anything but a couple of bucks..I was thinking if I find a a draped bust half I might just have to slip that one in a different pocket! !!! Lol...
 

You know, I think you'd have every right to do that. Your time is worth something!
 

Here is the coin im not sure about..any help would be great..

Vino lots of respect for you showing everything and giving them up. Not fun I know but honesty seems to be something that people have lost sight of sadly. Great finds and you've got the pics to prove it. Great post. Honest Abe :-)

Nice post, great finds. You have to tell him he has to help you get in with the neighbors. I hope you find that silver (colonial, that is) I feel like its there. Good work as usual. Don't touch that Lo-jack I put on your vehicle Monday, You'll be seeing little black SUV's in your rear view mirror! I can understand how that guy wants those finds to keep in his family, I think you should get a Banner for returns. I believe that is the real reason he wants that stuff, if I'm not wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you tell me his family has been there a long time?
