Found this place by accident

hogge · Apr 7, 2008

Found this spot by accident on our way to another cellar hole in Eastern NY. My brother -in-law(digginitrtb) found the 2 dimes in the same hole. The 1840 is the drapery variety. The 1847 IS the 7/7 variety and can be seen under magnification. AWSOME detail and should be F-VF grade. As you can see it was offstruck to the left on the obverse. Cleaned up well in peroxide. This thing was only 2-3" down next to a log. 9 buttons, 2 buckles,(1 is a musket or rifle sling buckle), and a Tomahawk or throwing ax blade was found. I will post these as soon as I figure out how to make the file smaller. We only hunted this place about 5 hrs. so I hope there are more coins there. Forgive the fuzz on the lg. cent should have looked at it better b4 posting! LOL

Re: Ladies were waiting

1 - right click the picture you want to resize
2 - scroll down to "open with", click on paint your pic should appear on your screen
3 - click on Image at top left of window
4 - scroll down to stretch and skew
5 - in window that pops up click in 50 in horizontal and 50 in vertical. just the top 2 though leave skew alone.
6 - if it is the right size save, if it is still too big, you can repeat the 50 again.
hope this helps! just passing on the info.
