Hello everyone,

So I have been swinging a coil now for almost a year. I have found many keepers. Some of value and some that fall under the relic category. I love rescuing historic relics. Like most of you, I am truly addicted to the hobby. I always like to walk out the door telling myself what I want to find. A silver coin was my goal for five months. After I found one, then came the 1800's coin. That was a high hurdle for me. When fall came I decided to venture out into the fields to have a go at it. Learning as I went along I discovered it was not as easy as some of you made it out to be by reading your post and seeing your finds. It was very discouraging with a lot of failures to be had. I plucked a lot of iron, shotgun headstamps, buckles and bent up forks. With the mild winter, I found myself coming back to the city to dig clad and some wheat's with hopes of a silver coin. As to which I did find a couple. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't finding 19th century coins. 1836 was the year it became a city here. Something had to change. I knew it wouldn't be long before the farmers would be planting crops and I had to figure something out... then Lady Luck smiled upon me.

Yesterday's finds were five IHP's 1878,1883,1884,1898,toasted - five V nickles 1887,1899, three toasted - 1 seated liberty dime 1877.
Thanks for looking.

Oh so killer Dave!

A whole hand full of old coins... including a seated. Wow. You hit the 1800s club alright, you knocked it off of it's foundation.

Congratulations sir and best of luck to you on your future hunts.
Thanks Tom. One of the nickles got kissed by the shovel. It happens to the best of us. I would say ask Brad but we'll leave him alone for a little bit longer.
 

Welcome to the 1800's club.
You are definitely a member in good standing.
Congratulations on an excellent hunt.
Thanks ATW. You set the standard so high I had no choice but to put something on the board.
 

Congrats on some great coins. Looks like you jumped into the club in a huge way with that haul.
