Chipping through the frozen tundra

[Clad 2 meet u]

I scored some oldies with some buddies today hunting a local park. We stumbled upon one of the original homesteads prior to it becoming a park and I hit a 1864 Injun and a 1833 Large Cent but it was used as some sort of fob. Has a small hole drilled in her and the back is ground smooth. She's in bad shape but she's mine!!! oh... and cant forget the merc. which I can't get cleaned up at all. Wonder what was in that soil A buddy of mine scored a 1819 largie about 10 feet from my Injun and his largie is intact and in great shape but still needs it's peroxide bath. A few other scored some merc's and wheaties too. We had to chisel through 2" of frozen ground to get to the diggable stuff but well worth the effort. Great way to start off the new year here in Michigan.

not for sure of the amount of time but i have heard that putting them in a regular brown potatoe will clean them up real good

Glad to me U, Clad 2 me U:

That is a very nice set of coins. I don't think the hole makes any difference. It makes it more personal since someone probably wore it as a necklace.

I just noticed your avatar dime too-great artistry to make that and indian merc...lol What program did you use to make it. It looks seamless. Good graphic work.

Looks like a great place too hunt and you will get more good coins there.

Awesome finds, and a terrific inspiration for me to not give up hope in finding my first large cent back in Michigan at some point this year. Who knows, maybe I'll find one here on the West Coast, but I think it much more likely I'll find one in Michigan when we visit for two weeks in early summer, and again for a week at Thanksgiving.

Way to go on those awesome coins, and for persevering through the frozen tundra.

I can't take credit for the avatar, I googled silver coin images (winters are kinda boring you know) and stumbled across it.

Really looking forward to springtime in Michigan.

Thanks for the reply.
