1800 Half Cent A BEAUTY!

hogge · Mar 20, 2010

Went to the button field with Roz and Bri today. Still had some snow in the fields, and the woods likewise, but we needed to get out. Seeing all these finds being posted, we needed to find something too! About 2 hrs. into it my brother Brian came up with this. Right next to the cellar hole that we thought had been plucked clean of coins. Coin appears to have VF details! Just goes to show ya, that year after year, new stuff gets turned up and repositioned by frost. That's why any seasoned hunter, goes back to the old spots. Enjoy! Hogge

Nice going on the 1/2!!

It really looks like it is in great shape.

I lightened up the photo a little for those of us whose eyes aren't what they once were.

Congrats!

That is a sweetie. I have found 7 large cents but no half cents.
They are hard to come by in Kentucky.
Tell your brother nice find for me.
It's always fun to find just one more in a hunted out spot.
