Felt like going out for a "WALK" 1803 LC, 1809 LC and others.

Vino · Nov 12, 2015

First time out since last Thursday with Bill D and Brad (outdoor ADV ).
New it was going to rain, but figured I could get a few hours in. Almost 1 and half hours before the sky open up. It was enough though!
I went back to one of my spots that I haven't been to since September.
Last time there the ground was like concrete.
Let me tell you, it was like a new site.
Targets everywhere.
10min in I pulled the 1803 LC. Couldn't tell what it was at the time, just knew it was a LC instead of a KG. Then came the 1809 20min later.
I thought wow that was good enough if it starts to rain. Haha.
The whole reason for the walk today was I just put together a display case and I wanted some bigger pieces of Iron in the case.
Well it did not disappoint, I dud a deep iron signal and about 18inches down I pulled out a clothing Iron.
How cool is that. I believe its colonial, if not close enough. Lol
Then I dug the buckle, and the 2 buttons. Oh I forgot to mention, in the hole with the 1803 was a trade bead. (I think its a trade bead?) my first. Then I found the 1862 IH.
Then it started to rain, and as I was swinging towards my truck I get a great hit. Dug down a out pops the
1864 2center.. Man I love the design of these coins, and its in great shape to boot..
Thanks for listening and looking.

Ahh, the way I like it...Largies to go! Actually, that 1809 is from a time the mint used the crappiest copper (lots of impurities) so it's in great shape considering. However the elephant in the room is that Iron. That is SO COOL!

Congrats bud

I wonder though, during your walk, did you ever feel like breaking into song and do some singing in the rain too?

LOL

Excellent saves!

Thanks Steve,
Its wierd, looks like it has 8 flat sides on the 1809.
Look forward to the Iron cleaned up.

That two cent piece is incredible, I can't stop looking at it, looks like a large motto variety. I am in love with the green color on it which I have noticed some two cents get in good soil conditions. It also looks to have a fairly high details grade, looks to be around an Extra Fine. For future reference I included a photo on how to tell the difference between the more rare small motto and the more common large motto. Overall you had an incredible hunt. I am green with envy, (get it, "green" as in the patina of the coin ) (I know bad pun )

It is my favorite us coin.

Thanks Jeff,
I didn't even think about a walking liberty. I was teasing Whatafind.
He always talks about taking a walk. Haha.

Wow Vino that's a killer 2 center! Love seeing all the great finds that you pull from the ground. Your quick walk would take me months to produce those kinds of finds.

Looking forward to your year end wrap up. Though it probably never freezes and snows at your sites

Yeah, ya see, Jeff. There are walks & then there are "walks". Some people just don't know how to let go. A "walk", in the rain/muck/mire/mud....sorry. Not my cup o tea. Sounds too much like "work".

I'd rather take a stroll back into the past and find a couple 200 year old buttons I can read then any crusty/corroded copper .

You wanted Iron and you dug an iron. how cool is that. Love that 2 cent, it's crisp. All those keepers detected and recovered in 90 minutes, Awesome...

Thats the site I took you too.
The one we tried to sift..can you believe it

There were still plenty of signals there George. The old stuff just wasn't popping for us that day. I'm not surprised you have found some nice stuff there since the day we hit it. It's a good fall back site for you.
