I was gone for a while, now back with a bang ( IH, LC, token )

[hoosierfinds]

Took time off due to the heat, drought, and family health issues. It was time to start up again. For a two and 1/2 hours Monday afternoon, I took my XLT to a pre-1900 farmhouse I had scouted in July.
Stayed only on the front and one side yard and in the first 2 minutes I found the token at 5 1/2 inches. The large cent - 1856? - was at 3 1/2 inches a few minutes later. The LC shows well with olive oil but the detail is hard to see with just the clean, dry coin. Too bad about its corrosion. And the 1894 IH was at ONE HALF INCH! It is missing all the "liberty". These were all within a 10 - foot area under a tree at one corner of the house. The rest of the time only turned up 5 mem cents and some scrap aluminum.
I have a 1853 farm house lined up for this afternoon. A nice cool, cloudy day.

Now that is a fantastic day!

The Large Cent looks great in the photo. The IH and the token are like sugar on top!


Nice to see you back!

Maybe I should take a break. If you find stuff like that when starting back up it would be a good idea.

Nice coins, love the token

A couple nice coins with that token. I found the same token last week. Mine was not as pristine as yours.

That largie is nice. Indian head at 1/2 inch...... I bet you thought you were going to dig a memorial. Great finds. Hopefully the 1853 Farm house will produce even more for you.

And here I was thinking that token might be relatively unique. Did the 1853 farmhouse yesterday. Will post a photo soon

Right you are! However, I've learned that when working under trees it doesn't matter how deep it is. Things don't seem to sink as easily.

The large copper looks really nice if you ask me. That token is kick-butt! Tokens are great to find.
