great variety of finds along creek.

Found all this on the banks of a large creek in the area. Large cent is toasted. Did get 1831 date off it. The 2 cent is really nice besides the scratch I put in it with my digger. Anyone have any ideas off age on some of the bullets and balls. Area has been settled since around 1780.

That's a REALLY nice 2 cent'er!

 

[treasuretom]

Thanks. It would look better without the scratch. I almost cried.

Great site! Looks like it was a really fun hunt. Love the 2 center. The scratch isn't that bad...it's still gorgeous lol

Even with the scratch its still better than many dug 2 centers. Congrats.

Thank you. Dug about $5 in clad also. I think some of the bullets and round balls have some age. Creek runs through town that has had a no discharge of firearms law for at least 30 years. The oval fishing weight appears to be hammered flat. Has no mold lines and looks to have hammer marks.

Nice bunch of finds.
I LOVE creek walking. That's actually what got me into metal detecting this year.
But I still keep my eyes peeled along any stream.

Congrats on some awesome finds.

Nice digs.

Nice finds. The 2 Center is in great shape.

Thought it was a nickel until I got the dirt of it in the creek. It was up over the bank near a stone spring. Heading back there again. Have to wait until Sundays because of archery hunters.

All great finds

 

[detectahead]

Great finds! From now on I bet you don't scratch one. We have all done it! Still a beautiful coin!

Nice finds!

Like everyone else has said, the 2 center is beautiful, but ALL those finds together are amazing. Is the barrel of the little key hollow? From what I was told, the solid ones are probably older. Great hunt!
