I had a dandy day!!

Got out yesterday it was 12 degrees when I left the house but I knew the ground wasn’t frozen and there were areas I wanted to hit since this winters snow had packed down some underbrush that in the summer is not hittable. I ended up having one of my best days in a while. It was definitely a good relic hunt with a couple of really good conditioned coppers to boot. I really do not know how the merc got mixed in but I’ll take it. And a pretty cool buckle the style of which is a first for me. Good luck to everyone through this tuff period of time.

Super hunt ! .. Congrats
I had the same idea as you on Sunday regarding those spots with the packed underbrush. The ground was still a bit harder than I expected, but I did manage a couple nice keepers. First hunt of the year here in Maine,,,Come on Spring!!

The 1819 looks smaller than the other LC. Did they reduce the size somewhere along the way? Gary

Excellent !

Wow great day with some really nice large cents... 3 on a 12 degree day you are killing it but I think the find of the day is the buckle. I think that's called a batwing and they are easy to date. Probably 1700's which would have me stoked!!!

great finds for sure

thanks for the info on the buckle, I do not know much about them but will research some more

I checked the sizes they are all the same, but I agree that in that pic it looks smaller! probably the angle or my bad camera skills

So, 1819, 1831, and an earlier L.C. from the 1800 or maybe late 1790s.
