1723 KING GEORGIVS the I Copper, 1853 Millard Fillmore Presidential Token, etc

{Sentinel} · Sep 27, 2010

Hey Guys

, here's my bounty from the same hunt that Jeff found his Light Artillery Button. Found a George I farthing which are hard to come by down here. We usually find George II and George III Coppers. Found another item that has the Latin phrase "Docendo Discimus Exnihilo Nihil Fit" which translated means: "We learn by teaching. Out of nothing comes nothing." The phrase is attributed to both Empedocles and Seneca the Younger... Not sure who's bust is on the front but looks alot like George V or Nicholas II.
Also got another holed Millard Fillmore Token which is different than the one I dug a couple months back and MANNNN was it DEEP! I must have dug for like 15 minutes and about 14 inches down before it popped out. I could barely get my shovel down into the bottom of the hole to scoop out dirt it was so deep

Anyways, I also got some Eagle Buttons from the hunt. All in all a happy hunt. Hope all you guys are having fun in this nice fall weather. :icon_thumleft:

Sure is a welcome sign from the 100 degree days we had nearly all summer long here. Actually today we got a BIG reprieve with quite abit of rain!

Here's the Pics:

You guys are somethin' else. :notworthy:

Fantastic showing from both of you. That farthing is a top notch find, and I am jealous of that Fillmore token as well. THAT's what my collection is missing. I knew there was something. :icon_scratch:

Cheers,

Thanks Buck. :wink:

I've been been blessed to have the knowledge of some good areas and to share them with my digging partner and we've both come out on top this season that's for sure. I know that if you asked either of us we'd definitely tell you that we're most appreciative for all the wonderful things that we've found this year.

Yeah, Missouri isn't quite as old but depending on what part of Missouri you're in, you should be able to find some Guerilla Camps (Confederate) and Federal Camps that would produce some Minies and possibly some Seateds. Thanks for the compliment Lumps :wink:

You never know what might pop up though........even out there........if a ROMAN COPPER COIN can pop out of the ground in the Continental U.S. (and it can and did here) than I'm not surprised about anything popping out of the soil......Im sure there's a few Largies waiting for you to dig up somewhere near where you live. :icon_thumright:
