Returned to the mystery site in the field next to my in laws. The amount of old coins vs relics and junk is insane. Nothing other than some can slaw by the road, a few rifle/shotgun brass and the coins were dug and all in about a 30’ square area. The coins were as follows:
1857 Flying Eagle
1863, 65, 67, 69, 73x2, 74x2, 76 and 80 IHPs
1869 3 cent nickel
18?? and 1875 Shield Nickels
1884 V Nickel
1838 Seated Dime
1876 Seated Quarter
