Four hunts in the same farm field yields a coin and musket ball each day and each coin is 101 years of age or older. The first coin was an Indian from 1900, second was a Coronet type large cent with no date, third was a 1911 Lincoln cent and today hit a nice Half Dime from 1853. Thanks for looking! HH Lloyd

Nice lookin coin, great shape!! Im new to this and have been at it about 1 month and somehow missed the fact that a half dime existed?!! So the post was good to see and informative. Thanks.HH

Went out again today in the same field and got another single coin but it was only a 1923 Lincoln! No musket ball this time but did get an unmarked flat cuff button and a broken harness bell. Fun finds though! Lloyd
