Even though this year has not been a great one for the condition of the coins, it is above average for the number found so far. Today I found my 20th coin, and of the 20th, 1832 is the newest one.
The 1819 Large Cent is one of my most common years I have found, but they usually hold up fairly well, this one so-so condition. I rode my mountain bike to the spot and within the first 5 minutes had the two buttons and the Large Cent. All were at a old homestead that unfortunately was also used as a dump spot back in the 60's. But I went slow and got what I could from this site. Previously a nice 1775 KGIII counterfeit copper and a decent 1795 Half Cent were found there.
Finds today include a nice fork section of a 18th century shoe buckle, a nice backmarked early 1800's button and another button with some material still attached to it. The pewter spoon section was found right near the end of my hunt. The one round disc item is modern trash, but the other one I believe is part of a lead seal, hard to say, but does appear to have some lettering on it, however very faint. It could be just a flattened piece of lead, but for now I will go with a lead seal.
