1847 Braided Hair LC from the orchard

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Today was the day for me to get serious at my new spot. I spent about two hours with the big coil on my ACE 250, and then one more hour with the sniper coil. The sniper coil found all of the good stuff today.

This site goes back to about 1780. The apple trees here are HUGE !! Very old and still producing amazing apples. I figured that if I spent some time in the orchard that something nice would show up....... The iron is EVERYWHERE. I had to switch over to the sniper coil to find the good stuff. I cant wait for me Minelab to be up and running again.
The owner, Mr. Wilson purchased the property from Mr. Dimock in 1973. It has never been metal detected !! Unfortunately they burned out last year and are in the process of building back the house and a smaller barn.
The 1847 Large Cent is my first Braided Hair. I wanted to stay longer but the rain was starting to come down so I called it a morning.
I type with one finger so I will let the pics tell the story of what I may find. There will be lots of pics in the next few posts.
