1800's Half Dollar. Awesome 2 Cent Piece. Plus A Bunch Of Other Oldies

Hi everyone,

Haven't been out hunting as much as I would like to. Had a death in the family just recently and with a new born my time has been limited.

However the 2 or 3 times I have been out over the past 2 or 3 weeks have been decent. My main hunting grounds at the moment is a good 15 miles there and back from my home.

I'm burning through tanks of gas like crazy. I have a V-8 also and it only runs on premium fuel. So it's 50.00 to fill it. And it seems to be so frequent.

So I make my trips in moderation to this site. Wish I could hunt it on a daily basis.

Last weekend was a nice outing though. Me and Lance my brother got out early Sat morning. I scored a nice 1899 barber half. Then almost right after that I got a really nice 1864 2 cent piece.

Lance, was really hating me then. He had only wheats that day. But it happens to all of us. I also got a 1908 V-nickle in the same hole as the barber half.

I've been finding alot of holes lately with more than one old coin in it. Like today got 3 wheats in one hole. First pic shows them. Then got a wheat and a buffalo in the same hole. I love when that happens. Today was like that for me. I was digging more than one old coin per hole.

The total of finds in the pics break down like this:

9 wheat cents
1 1936 Buff
1 1908 v nickle
1 1899 barber half
1 1941 merc
1 1864 2 cent piece
1 Unknown/Coin Or Token

And a unknown coin or token. Smooth on both sides. It's the size of a u.s quarter. Made of copper with a nickle plating. Probably a old foreighn coin. It was deep and I know at one point in time it was some kind of coin.

Hope everyone is getting out and finding the good stuff. Last pic is of a close friends car. I was working on it for about a week. It's for sale if anyone is in the market for a muscle car.

Excellent job!! That Barber half is a great find......I'm still in search of my first.........Plus ,those gas prices are getting out of hand, but what can you do. I also have a V-8 in my F-350 . I travel about 50 to 80 miles one way when doing my digging and it can get kinda priceeee...............$$$$$$. So you have to make the best of it!

Great job JerDFX and keep up the good work!

Thanks alot guys.

Everything is well. New son is doing really well. It's amazing how he is almost a month already. He already put 2 pounds on. They change so much so quick.

You guys will score your barber halfs. I really want to find a seated half. I keep missing it by a few yrs. I don't have a seated half yet. Half's are hard to find period. Any era there tough to come by.

The gas issue in this country really does stink. I could live with 1.50 2.00 a gallon but know more. Filling 2 cars all the time sucks. My V-8 only runs on 93 or 94 octane. Premium fuel is req. So I pay about 3.25 a gallon.

Can't have power nowadays with this economy. I need a damn yaris or hybrid. Don't wanna buy one till they are cheaper and more around. Maybe in about 10 yrs.

I just bought a new car about a month ago. Gotta pay for this one first. Had to go with a economical 2.4 4 cylynder car.

50 to 80 miles is alot Seeker. But the finds are very nice also.

Civilman, it is a silver star meats. Don't know if you are familar with that product. It is sold here in the north east. I am assuming it's in your stores also. They process meat there.

You can walk right across the st. Go in and get anything as fresh as it's gonna get. Lunch meat. Hams you name it they got it.

My friends olds 442 runs the quarter mile in 10.2. It has a nitrous oxide bottle in the trunk. This is by far the most powerful machine I ever drove around.

Man the 70's must have been great. This car though is alot more beefier than it was stock back then. It has a 455 in it. Not the original 400 that came with the car new.

He said it puts out 650 HP. 100 extra with the nitrous hooked up at the track. So a total of 750. He wants to sell it for 15,000.

Take care guys.

Those were some really nice fines. Thanks for sharing. If you don't mind me asking. How did you clean up the Buffalo?

I was gonna ask the same thing. I can never get em to shine again.
