Found a homesite in a cornfield today, and 2 good coins

[Wallhangers]

This was a first for me. We knew there was an old house there on the platte but had to find it. Finally got into some iron and then started getting some better signals. Ended up with a bunch of relics and an 1883 IHP and an 1852 Large Cent. Never thought I would find one more of these this year. Just when I thought my season was coming to a close. As usual, thanks for looking. These were in rough shape and I did a little electolysis on them.

Great job on the large cent. Field hunting is where it's at.

Nice coins! Thats the only bad part about electrolysis, (which I have used). Seems to enhance pitting and take some detail off a badly corroded coin. But I have to say you did well on them. Congratulations on those two finds. Hogge

Sweet Hunt Wallhanger!

Still waiting to find a LC in Northern Michigan. Hope you keep the weather longer than we do.
Looking like some snow up here this weekend. Like it for Nov 15, but hard to swing a coil if we get much of it.

Good Luck on the 15th, obviously you are another avid hunter.

I actually only let it go for a few minutes and then cleaned it with baking soda and water. It looks a lot better than how the picture made it look.

That was my buck from last year, still after a good one this year.

Good luck to you as well, and I always look forward to the 15th. Not only as a hunter but I run a full-time taxidermy shop as well.

I totally agree with you hogge, and I try not to do it long when I do it. This one just had so much corrossion that I couldn't get off with peroxide. I don't sell any of my coins, they go in my collection.

Yep, I can see a lot of time in the fields now.

Thanks for all of your comments.

I almost nailed a keeper last night on the way home. At least an 8 point. He stared my headlight down before he reluctantly ran. I thought he was going to attack my car

Great job on the late night hunting Mark! I guess thats why I don't do too much hunting in corn fields, I hate what the fertilizer does to those great coins! I guess any coins are good, but I think I'll be stickin to the yards lol. Hope to get out hunting with ya at least one more time before the snow flies!

Nice work. Got a photo of the relics, too?

nice coins..spring detecting time is just around the corner...

 

[silverfreak]

Nice finds Mark. The large cent looks great

 

[Johnny Ringo Silver]

Nice finds!!! Dont sweat the LC and the cleaning cause as you know, its not a key date and it takes an exceptional one to be worth much anyway. 8) I myself like to clean them up to display. I'm not too anal about the "Proper" way of it all!

Hey, nice coins!

I've never even seen a large cent in person. Way to go! Here's to a late winter!
