1826 large and 1821 small copper,CW buttons,3c nickel, misc

[Merf]

Greetings friends, The beans are all picked and about half of the corn is.
I have been pounding some old field sites and a couple of new ones.
Here are the rest of my finds for the month of November.
The tiny copper coin is a Quattrino from Tuscany, Italy.
Thanks to Ted750 for IDing it.
The 1869 three cent nickel is the first I have seen.
I nicked it while digging so it was a bit of a relief to see that it was holed anyway.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all, Merf

Dang Merf, some stellar finds once again. I started this year to hunt in the bean fields(Thanks in part to you and your usual hoard of finds from fields). Guess what, my second field I netted an 1849 LC...Yippee...Thanks for the great post and for pushing me in to the farm lands buddy. jgas

1826 Large cent in Illinois. There is alot of people out there that make excuses as to not being able to find this age of coins west of Pa but you are one to show how wrong they are. Keep up the great work Merf and lets see some more my friend.

I agree 100%. People just don't do the research and then they complain about not finding coppers. There are many early coins to be found in Illinois and you are the one who continues to show us! Well done, Merf!

Man, looking good Merf nice work in the fields! That corn is a bit tiresome to hunt when it is like that.

Hey Merf.

You make it looks so easy. What a great variety of cool old finds. Your nickel coins are in great shape. I found a nickel 3 center last year but it was in bad shape (corrosion).

That 1821 coin is awesome.

Merf,
I started drooling over this post since this morning before work, and I'm still drooling over it after work. My wife put a bucket under me though. Those are some fantastic finds. I love that US padlock.
Congrats on the great variety of relics,
Doug

I'm glad I'm East of PA.
Research certainly pays off.

Merf,
I think we may have matching buckles or suspender clips. I found mine in Indiana last month.

Man, look at all that great stuff! Excellent coin finds and great relics! That old car and coal token/coin are great, plus a Chinese coin and a climax token!

WTG!
