1837 US Liberty Cent, Silver Ring, Skeleton Key, Pocket Knife, and Unknown

[Deleted member 140734]

Today I found my third Liberty Cent in recent weeks, the other two being another 1837 and an 1835. Wish I could someday find a Classic Cent as I find Draped Bust Cents and plenty of Liberty\Matron Heads. My oldest Liberty Head Cent is 1822. I like the big scrolling 2's they used.

This one is not in bad shape and is better than the the last 1837 I found. The 1835 is in very good condition. The difference, I believe, is the better 1835 was not subjected to more recent agricultural chemicals.

My running joke is the spirits of a site have welcomed you if they give you a key. I have a collection of such old keys.

The small silver ring was was found deep in a colonial-era stratum.

The unknow object seems have been attached to a shaft. Interesting that is numbered.

I have found around a dozen of these Liberty Heads over the past 5 years. Always happy to see them, but when I am unearthing them, I am wishing for a Draped Bust. It wasn't until the mid-1830s that the second mint started producing enough coins for the average American to use and lose so I expect to see them. They are a refreshing break from pulling up British HP.

Such a nice collection of finds eastender. Skeleton keys are one of my most favorite things to find. Yours is a beauty, as is that LC. Fantastic detail.
