Braided Hair Large Cent from New Site

[Kyle PA]

KKC (KirkKyleChris) got permission for a new site today. The landowners were so nice that we ended up talking to them for over an hour. Folks, meeting very nice landowners puts a smile on my face, as well as Kirk's and Chris'. It isn't always about the finds.

I got this Braided Hair large cent soon after we started. It was sitting next to iron, as evidence of the rust mark on the coin's edge. She isn't a babe, but it is a welcomed copper to my pile this year!

I gave the owners two beautiful Indian Heads dated 1865 and 1907. They loved them!

Next weekend, we'll be reloading a new site.

WTG Kyle on the Largie. Meeting the land owners and talking with them is always a plus when they show an interest. Sometimes they can lead you to other sites .
Good hunting by the KKC.

Add that copper to your pile and chalk your day up as a success. I was riding the skunk mobile all the way to my 1880s home.

Tomorrow could be another day to get out, but you two puppies are satisfied. :P

Get the dang film running again!

I will, but they won't be posted for the forum to view. They will be for my own personal enjoyment years down the road.

Meeting nice folks is a find in my books. Going out and getting keeper after is a bonus.

It would have been better if Koiky found something but we did pull a couple coppers so it wasn't a total loss.

sometimes the intended target is not the relic that wins the day, if the coin was the intended target, then I say you had success!
a coin like that would keep me interested in sticking with that site, but the button is another thing
with the pewter and iron chunks I would say the button is older than the coin and far nicer relic!

good luck with the new site!

 

[Kirk PA]

I would tumble that thing. You have nothing to lose. Would you pick your phone up.

IP and IH, I agree about the button being a very nice target. When I dug it, I thought I saw an anchor on it. What do you think the age is? Late 1790s?

Yeah about then. Good candidate for the peroxide. Just set it aside to dry and you'll have a green with gilt button. (no water)
