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.

Hey Neil, do you have the post address of your avatar coin? I would like to look up the story on that find, I think I remember reading it and that is a great looking copper.

Sweet finds on those 1/2 dimes! One is great, two is the mother load. Not sure on the iron ID's though.
