1818 Large Cent and a Merc

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

I have been on vacation this week but have not been able to hunt much

Today I had an hour and a half window that was mine. I grabed the Minelab and headed to my dads house a couple of miles away. The house was built arround 1900+/- My first silver came from here, also my first Liberty Nickle. Last fall I was surprised when I dug an 1817 LC on the front lawn.
Today I was focusing on the back lawn. The very first signal that I dig.... You guessed it LARGE CENT !! Nice detail right out of the ground. Sorry no before pics of this one. Pretty excited I put it into my pouch and continued on. Two targets later I was looking at the 1923 Mercury Dime. This is my first Silver of the season and the first silver with the Minelab.
I guess that because of the sites that I hunt my Large Cent finds out number my silver finds Not that I am complaining
The only other time that I had time to hunt was last Monday. It was a new spot that I now have on the waiting list for this fall. Two Indian Head Cents that didnt clean up very well. One looks like 1867 the other is too far gone. The friend that was with me pulled out a fatty Indian with no date. I will put a pic of these at the end.

Thanx for lookin' VPR
