7- 1800's Coins (Part)

Finally made it back out to the Agricultural Fairgrounds I posted about Nov. 4 (16-1800's coins). Weather has either been to rainy or to cold. Made it out Thursday Nov 13 and got in about 4 hrs. No silver this time but did manage 4 shield nickels (1866 with rays and 3 1867's) also found 3 Indians (1866,+2-1880) fertilizer is not kind to copper. Hope you can make them out. Thanks for looking

From one fellow Illinoisian to another, nice digs! Good thing you've got a lot of history down there, makes for some really interesting old digs.

Thanks Joe
Yes a lot of history down this way. I find a lot of information on Illinois Trails and History. It brings up all the counties in my area and covers history of towns and townships in the county from the 1800's.
Happy Hunting
