1852 & 1855 Half dimes, can't believe it!
I have had a great year this year already but most of it has been due to good research. We have been on a mad dash lately trying to hit a bunch of old sites before the fields get planted. Tonight we stepped into a field site that has a lot of potential. It was in the 1860 platte but gone by 1872. Didn't take long to find the iron patch. When I found the 1852 half dime I told my partner...that just made my year. A half dime was right at the top of my list of coins that I wanted to find this year. About a 1/2 hour later I found the second one. We dug a lot of targets, including some iron, but only have covered a small portion of this site. Hey Buckles or anyone else, help me ID some of that iron please. I think that at least one of those items is a part of a hoe. My partner found an 1825 large cent, 1860 fatty IHP, a mystery coin or button, and some other buttons, possibly an eagle button. He dug a lot of iron as well. We will be getting back in the field soon to finish what we started and have high hopes for more good coins. Thanks for looking.
