It permission to hunt the yard of a house from the late 1700's. No one has ever gotten permission to detect it but because I was a kid they welcomed me in with open arms. Found my first large cent and my first bust dime! It's an 1835 large cent and an 1827 bust dime. I also found a 1939 merc in great condition, it's almost flawless. After finding my first gold ring I didn't think this week could get any better but it did! The trash here was crazy. I must've dug 100,000 holes lol. Mostly just odds and ends of tools and farm equipment. Thanks for looking

That looks like an excellent day to me, nice work! That dime has incredible luster.
 

I think that's because of the flash on my camera but thanks! Always nice to have people appreciate your finds
 

Superb finds dude!! Cover your tracks, LOTS to be had!!! God Bless Chris
 

Great finds, I still have not found a bust piece or a large cent, I've been detecting for 14 yrs. again congrats that's awesome🎯🎯
 

Awesome finds, and week!
 

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
 

What a great day! Congrats!
 

What great finds! Congratulations!
 

Those are some Awesome Coins! Way To Go! That is going to be a great place for you! Take your time and look in every nook & cranny, it should produce some more great coins & relics. :icon_thumright:
 

wow look at how good the condition of that LC is!
 

Super cool finds, I'd be going back there real quick lol!!
 

Excellent digs. :hello2: Congrats on some nice oldies. I'd be hitting that place a couple more times. :icon_thumleft:

HH
 

Was that LC an eyeball find?
 

Cool finds, and unbelievable condition to boot! Holy Crap! Awesome finds, almost unbelievable condition. Dont get me wrong, up here where I am from in the rust belt those babies would have be spongy corroded vestiges of their former glorious selves, due to decades of brutal acid rain. Hey, by the way, what brand paper towels are those?
 

Wow, you are lucky. Those coins don't look like they have ever touched the dirt!
 

Awesome! Congratulations!
 

Wow that is amazing! I think you must have found someone's coin stash because none of those coins have been in the ground very long! Great job! I would definitely be going back.
