Wow that's fabulous! Don't see a lot of those, so two back to back is pretty sweet.

Nice looking half cent.. Another tough coin to find. if it would have come out of one of these corn fields around here, 9 out of 10 times she would be pretty much a blank. Nice one.

Yesterdays LC and tonights HC both look to have been dropped early on. This site is turning out to be older than I thought and kind to old copper as well. Previous oldest coin was a 1863 IHP. I just wish I could find a good field like this one that doesnt have a hunting lease on it. My seated field is the same way

Not a common find at all! In 3 1/2 years of detecting, I've found 9 large cents, but never found a half cent.
