I found these large cents and buckle about 2 months back, at the time I did not have a very good camera to take a halfway decent picture. The shoe buckle was found on cape cod along with the draped bust large cent. (circa 1730 house). The date on the coin has yet to be determined. I convinced my self that I had a 1799 but I took it to a dealer and he steered me away from that idea. I"m no expert, so I took his advice. The 1818 and 1832 large cents were found in Connecticut (at 2 sites that produced many buttons and buckles, 1804 half cent, and various large cents) along with the Treble Gilt button. The other button was unearthed maybe 4 paces away from the shoebuckle on Cape.
The indian head cents and barber dime were found shortly after in central Ohio. I now reside in Georgia, I have yet to find a good site to hunt. I do have a couple yards down here that I hunted, I managed a bent up barber dime that was hit by some farm equipment and plenty of trash to shake a stick at. It was only identifiable by the "one dime" on the back. Barely readable but there. I kindly gave it to the homeowner that was in awe of it, I hope she treasures it for ever.lol.
Hopefully I'll come across some good sites here in Georgia. General Sherman really devistated the area I live in. So I have a good chance to find some CW relics. My next big goal is a 3 ring bullet. OR any CW relic at that matter. Thanks for reading and happy hunting to all.
