🥇 BANNER C.S.A. Button; Chain Cent; And Many Others!!! Best Day I have Ever Had!!!!

[gbpackrfan1990]

I went back to the place that I found the 1851 Saber Belt Plate and Vermont Button, and had one heck of a day! The construction crew demolished an old 1920s house, and I was amazed at what came out from underneath it!!! I dug well into the night, nugget after nugget! My finds include:

9 Bullets (3 minie balls, 1 gardiner, 1 enfield, 3 colt, 1 round ball)
1 sword scabbard tip
1 1876 silver dime
1 1871 indian head penny
1 1867 shield nickel
1 1810 Large Cent
3 Eagle buttons (2 cuff; 1 Gold plated Coat)
********************** Here come the goodies
1 Solid Cast C.S.A. Button
1 1793 Chain Cent
1 Unknown Token (last two pictures; I think its a Prussian medal c. 1815, it says "NEUE EHRE NEUES GLÜCK" on the front and Voll Muth on the back. I am unsure of the value, any help is appreciated!!!)

Hi , I am not even gonna ask whats a cheesehead doing in Va ? I am wondering about the 1796 no pole half cent and now a 1877 Indian cent. Not trying to be smart or sarcastic , but ..... Was this site a demolished rare coin store ?

I will not sound like a broken record because before this, I've never even HEARD of a chain cent. I would have tossed that puppy in the relic bag with iron junk. Yep, I woulda . . . $10,000 Good GRIEF! I was going to say that CSA button, some Eagles, a scabbard drag, and what appears to be a CS finial for a cap box or cartridge bag . . . YES! But I guess they're not a big deal now. I think I said after your plate that I was sure there was more great stuff there. As a Virginia boy and a Tejon freak, I'll just say, "Go ahead stuff!"

PW ..
Knowledge is POWER!!

The only reason I know what a Chain Cent is Cause Before I started the Computer, I recall Reading (In NS Trader) I think?
The Story of a Virginia Relic Hunter & He stated something like "My Favorite non-Relic find Was a Chain Cent" then went into where & the Emotion of finding it.
So Don't feel bad, Only Dedicated Coin People Know what a Flowing Hair Cent 'Chain Reverse' is.

Man he Dug 1 of only 36,103 minted of the 3 types that year.

The plate would have made my Year ,Or 2. 'The Stuff Dreams are made of ....A hunt like that.



He dug 1 of only 36,103

Just so you know CMDiamonddawg.
His Dad found the 1796 no pole half cent years ago, at a different location I assume?

I was def, a site where rare & scarce Coins ended up.

Amazing Banner find ! A truly rare American artifact !!!!!!! This is what detecting dreams are made of .

 

[gbpackrfan1990]

The 1796 was found a few miles away, years ago. The 1877 was found last night at the same spot I found the chain cent at. It was a colonial house site that was used asa civil war hospital!

One of the most incredible digs I've seen posted in my short time here. Congrats on it all!

 

[gbpackrfan1990]

Bad news guys... The owners of the property just put up posted signs... I heard right after I dug a 1773 Virginia Half Penny... I am heart broken

 

[Captain Caveman]

What a run though, right?!?

 

[gbpackrfan1990]

It was a great run, but there is SOOO much I have yet to put a detector over!

So I guess it was a Token or a Medal?

Thats pretty interesting. Thanks for the info!
