[olekyground]

Hey friends...

Hunt 90 (4.29.2010)

I took ya'lls advice and stuck with the old 1800's homesite I have been hitting. Well I guess this is my 5th or 6th time roaming around up there. I started out slow finding nothing but nails. Then in the front yard area I hit something that was reaching +54 +55 on the detector. I dug it to find a 1853 Seated Liberty Half Dime!!!!!!! This is my oldest coin to date! surpassing my 1865 indian head. YAY!! I also found what appears to be a musket ball near the bottom.. Also a 1911 wheat penny and 1980 nickel. Anyways thanks for looking and good hunting!!

Hey, that old 1853 is bent to he** and back, but still COOL AS A FOOL to me...I wonder what in the world got ahold of that thing? oh yeah, the piece that looks like a key hanging from a ring looks like it might be a horse bridle piece...you know that fits in the horse's mouth...or so it looks like that to me-ha! good stuff, man!

check the 1911 wheat penny for mintmark the 1911s is a keeper key or semi key not sure but worth at least 1000 times its face value.

Not my words below, copy paisted from a coin website.



Well, hold on. It looks like there may be another Lincoln wheat cent that could someday be considered among the rare U.S. coins referred to as key dates: The 1911-S penny.

Why may the 1911-S cent someday be classified as a key date, you may ask?

Consider this:

•Only a little more than 4 million 1911-S Lincoln cents were made.
•The retail price for a 1911-S in Good has increased over the years to almost $50.
•Every coin collector needs a 1911-S Lincoln penny to complete a Lincoln cent collection.
While this in no way suggests values for a 1911-S penny are guaranteed to go up soon, what this does mean is that the list of the Lincoln cents coin collectors consider as 'key dates' may eventually expand to include the 1911-S.
