Civil war hunt with a penny trifecta and box plate

[ynpto804]

This is my first post on Tnet in a while just seem to have lost interest. I made it out yesterday to a home site for a few hour that I have been working on and off for a while. Well it never seems to disappoint. The first find of the day was a real nice 1906 V nickel. And after that thing just started rolling. The very rough US Box plate came out of the ground at only about 5 inches down. All of the plates I have dug recently with the exception of one have been tore up but that's alright The penny trifecta started with a 1812 large cent , followed by a 1899 IHP, and finished with a 1955 and 1917 wheatie. It's pretty cool to think about the newest coin being 59 years old. Lol Thanks for looking, Ynp

Two posts in a row that I have opened with snake pictures in them! Hope that's the closest I get to one this summer.

I like the half of the buckle in picture #6 and the stirrup - it looks like it should clean well in some electrolysis.

Nice variety of relics!

Congrats on the cent trifecta. That is one awesome hunt.
Welcome back.

Thanks for all the replies. I saw 5 black snakes in the field that afternoon. It was kinda funny. I haven't run across any copper heads but in sure it's only a matter of time.

Welcome back. Those finds would keep me swinging, and snakes keep me running.
Thanks for the post and congrats on that box plate.

That's a good candidate for restoration. Any plate is a great find! Glad you knew what it was. Some would've tossed that twisted up piece of brass in the trash!

I've thought about it for this one. I know that a lot of guys wouldn't fix box plates though.
