MaineRelic · Oct 24, 2010

Bright and early this morning I was on the intown median strip site that is extra trashy ! I can only handle about 2 hours on this site listening carefully through constant chatter spitting ann sputting . Found this nice 1797 Brittish cartwheel penny ! This thing is huge ! I put the coronet ( not dug today ) next to it for size comparison only ! Another completly blank copper thats 3 blanks now from this site also the peweter button that is falling apart and the toilet token ! On the second hunt I went back to the Use at your own risk site I hunted last tuesday after work ! Today I got 9 wheaties and the 4 silver ! Thanks for looking MaineRelic.

Looks like there's a minting error on that cartwheel at about 4-5 o'clock. Makes that really great condition find a little more special. Wonder if there's any variety rarities for cartwheels.
