1733 half penny and 1943 half dollar ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1492920598.446291.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1492920626.195516.jpg . ha i realized it's 210 years after i posted it was midnight cut me some slack lol. the story was i saw an old guy mowing his lawn across from a really old house and barn that i've been trying to get permission to hunt and he said i don't know who owns it. so i said your house looks old. he said about 175 years and it was an inn. i asked if i could hunt there and that's what i found. he also told me nobody has detected it to his knowledge and he's owned since 1980, so at best it's been hit with a not so spectacular detector!

Nice finds, looks good.

We are lucky we can have things 2 inches away & 2000 years difference, happens a lot here, kind of used to it.

Looks like a 210 year separation to me. Great finds. Wherever your spot is, people have been going there for a long time. Keep hunting it. There's bound to be more stuff and if you're pulling out large coins like this, odds are nobody else has detected it. Nice going!
