Wow!!! Congrats on some great finds!
 

Whew!! You just gotta go back before I find out where this place is, lol! You've got some great finds there, keep at it!
 

Thanks..plann on going back..just got permission to hunt this other church near it..it was a hospital for the soldiers in 1777 .pretty excited about it.
 

Nice finds. How about some better photos of the LC. Possibly be able to ID the 1700's coins
 

WOW!!!!!!!! I would be there everyday screw working I quit!!!!!! Man o man you lucky dog you THERES GOTTA BE GOLD SOMEWHERE ON THAT PROPERTY HECk might even find a leprechaun
 

Indeed that is an awesome area you are digging in.Congrats.HH.
 

Great find, To us in Oklahoma, dates that old on coins just boggle the mind.
 

Beyond belief that a church with that age has not been pounded. Would say it is safe to say there are very few of those left. Congrats on some truly awesome finds. :icon_thumleft:
 

Those are some incredible finds. Congratulations. You should check some of the dates again though. The 2 centers started in 1864 and it would be awesome if you had the 1856 flying eagle cent because that one is an extremely rare date and worth a good bit of $$$. Your indian heads are pretty good dates as well. I would be psyched up to get back to a great site like that. Good luck on the return trip.
