Have been to this wooded site 2x before, thinking there had to be something going on there, but came up with just a few brass doodads and many shotgun shells and bullets. Today was different, started out finding a 3 Cent Silver which made me go into thorough mode. After another 1/2 hour came a large cent... then an hour later, "the mother load"... started finding 3 cent nickels and more three cent silver pieces, dimes, half dimes (maybe 1/2 reales) more large cents, half cents then this 1834 Half Dollar... i brushed it off with soap and water and its a gem. Have to admit, i felt a little guilty finding all this stuff... its like 30 lifetime finds in a few hours .... there were no Indian heads, so this was probably pre-cw or thereabouts.
Update, including Day 2: Dont judge a book by its cover... cleaned the dirt off these coins... seems to be a wider spread in dates and some post CW. 11 Large Cents, 2 Two Cent pcs., 9 Three Cent Nickels, 7 Three Cent Silvers, 4 Half Dimes, 1 Dime, 5 Canadian silvers. Why so many 3 Cent pieces?
