Whoopy---I got the silver monkey off my back.
Hard to believe but I found the thimble first and then the five LCs . I can't read the dates on any of them yet but hope they will clean up. It was a five hour hunt.
It is an old farmstead site from the mid 1800s. I also found the IH with some local wildlife included in the pic. ;D :D I will be smiling all weekend :icon_sunny: ;D My best hunt for sure. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thanks for looking and best luck to all. Merf

WOW :o

They must have planted Large Cent seeds between the corn rows ;D

That's great Merf..after you hit the 3rd one I'll bet you thought you'd bring home a couple dozen! I'll bet if you keep hitting that place like you've been you'll break a
record for most LC's in one field!

Thanks for sharing your AWESOME day with us!
:thumbsup:

Holy cow Merf. You are my hero. I'm serious!!! :D I'm coming over there right now to kiss your shoes. ;D :o If you'd made it a 12 hour hunt, you'd have 12 large cents. Your average was one per hour. I declare you a metal detecting god. :tongue3: :icon_cyclops_ani: :wave: :read2: :sunny: :occasion18: :angel7: :icon_salut: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumleft: :headbang: :hello2:

Thanks Evolution , you are too kind.
I got permission to hunt the new spot and just got lucky. It was a shock to find all those LCs at one site.
Might have been a store or meeting place of some kind. :thumbsup:
