1758 site...

[Mr. Magoo]

Had a chance to go for a few hours to a field beside a NC 1758 home that survived Stoneman's raid. Absolute treat to hunt and landowners were the most hospitable. Five flat buttons and a 1849 half cent found with lots of other metals. Pocketwatch was cool too. Glad I am not up north in the snow or ice.

Congratulations! Any chance of getting a close-up of the coin?

Nice finds...But you just couldn't let it go.....Had to throw in that little zing about the snow and ice at the end for us Yankees...... .....You're gonna fit in just fine here...

Nice finds, what in the center of the photo? Is that the half cent with a hole in it? Congratulations on your finds!

What I thought was a 1849 half cent turned into an 1810 half cent as I cleaned it more. Back side is unreadable. I have attached photo of what should look like when made. I also included the pics of the medal. It is a Picies horoscope medallion. Thought it was pretty neat!

Hello 2 questions, what's an NC, and what was Stoneman ?. Nice finds

 

[Mr. Magoo]

That would be the fine state of North Carolina (N.C) and Stoneman was a dirty word here in the south for a civil war general on orders to burn and pillage everything along his path at the end of the Civil War (kind of a simple generalization of history but should work). The site I was hunting actually lodged him and his men for a few days and he spared that house and a few others. Hope that helps clear that up some.

A Union general then, well sometimes victors don't always act as they should, a sad fact of war.

Funny that your token says "You Are Sensitive" and yet you rub it in on the snow and ice up here. Real nice guy. Congrats on the finds.
