Early 1800's Coins Everywhere !

[E-Trac-Ohio]

I was on my way home after looking at a job about 30 miles South of where I live when I spotted some cut sandstone's in the woods. The stones were next to an area that was being cleared for a large electric powerline.
I asked one of the machine operators if I could do some metal detecting.
He said OK, go ahead , we're not working in that area right now.

I only walked 15 - 20 ft. and got a clear 89 signal on the Deus - a real nice 2 Cent.
Then the good finds just kept coming !
It's to bad this site is gone now, because I'm sure there were more good finds there.
Sorry for the bad photo - just been to busy to clean the finds and take new pics.
Here's what I found in one and half hour hunt ...

1829 - Half Cent
1839 - Seated Dime
1871 - 2 Cent
(3) Large Cents - 1820 - 1831 - 1831
Miner's Tag *** Ohio Tested & Sealed Tag *** (3) 1800' s Flat Buttons
Rival Dog Food "This Dog Belongs To" Tag *** Brass Buckle
And, as on every hunt - a 2001 Clad Dime

Good Hunting !

Great finds! Congratulations! Keep your eyes peeled for other great spots like that. Thanks for sharing.

 

[AU Seeker]

Great finds, maybe you can get back in there and find a little more before they all done?

 

[JeffInMass]

Tragic that you were only able to spend 1.5 hours there before losing it- what a site! Regardless, what you were able to find was absolutely outstanding- Congrats!!

Wow! What an incredible selection of recoveries in such a short time.

It's also somewhat upsetting to think of what history has been lost by development of the site though.
Good on you for noticing that potentially early homesite.
