[maceman66]

My Buddy Jazdo called me last night and said they tore up another street, come dig it with me, he was out the night before to the same area and did pretty well!! I was there not 5 minutes and dug the Barber quarter(1916D), then dug the indian(1894) a while later and then dug my first seated liberty dime(1877) i also found some other junk and one clad penny which must have been lost by the crew working on the streets, it was getting dark and one of Jazdos daughter had to go so he had to go if you know what i mean!! I messed around til well past dark and detected by street light til i was wore out. I was digging targets and throwing them in my pouch, i had dug 4 button sized targets and when i cleaned them this morning i realized one was an 1853 3 center, my first ever!!! I also had found a cut in half seated dime dated 1876. Heres a picture of the finds!!! I'm not sure what the wire clamp looking thing is but i'm sure its old,lol

Great finds! I just found an 1851 large cent that was cut in half. I wonder what they did that for?

Those are some very nice coins.

Every time I log on here I find out just how long my wish list is.

Good Luck

Awesome bunch of finds love that little 3 center, the wire thingy looks like a tourch starter it had flint in it and a little cup on the side that has the circle well thats my guess.

I think the wire clamp might be something like a test tube or flask holder. Used to use something like that in the lab back in Jr High.

Nice of the street to preserve those great coins for you in such nice condition!

 

[Sniffy]

Holy smokes, thats awesome how those coins were preserved.
