a couple of lc's to brighten a rainy day pics added

Hello All
been reading about all these great finds the last couple of months. I have been on the dl had knee problems that led to surgery. Got the ok to go md'ing. cold rainy day sounds good to me. Went to a foundation i had hit last spring. got the usual iron, nails, then found a silver thimble with a 7 stamped on it. size # ? looking for a makers mark. just before leaving i got a mixed signal dug down saw a bottle. reached for it and my hand touched a round edge picked it up and it was a 1845 lc in good shape, passed the coil and got a another big signal found a 1851 lc in decent shape. at this point its raining pretty good. i'll definately be going back pics to follow hh and good luck to all

Sounds good. Those big pennies are like finding a wheat penny amplified 25 times.

The bottle was broken unfortunately it was from an east end of long island town called greenport. Tom i was surprised at how good they looked coming out of the ground. cleaned up with water and some baking powder. the thimble on the other hand is going to take awhile to clean. sorry for the delay on the pics my computer for lack of a better word stinks at some point an upgrade will happen i send them over to ken b and he attachs them as always ken thanks hh and good luck to all
