Just getting started on this old field !

[MUD(S.W.A.T)]

Hi everyone,

I've been hunting my friends new place. Have not found much so not posting much. It's an 1800's farm that was a farm until 1920. Shocking I've never found anything old in the lawn. After hunting it three times with nothing old. I finally moved to the field. I started finding old stuff right away, first a flat button then a wheat. That I think has some silver gilt. After that my last good find in a small area of this field was a messed up IH. Hard to see and its been damaged by plow and maybe someone carved it up a little. Its a mess.... If you look careful you can see 1853... Anyway I'm just getting started on this field and its huge :P I want to hunt it good and I'm sure I should find some old silver someday. The last photo's are a play coin quarter size I found with Prolab69 and a I ching coin I found with Bushido Dude. Its about the size of a half dollar. Here are some pictures, if any came out ok enjoy....

Keep @ it and HH !!

By the looks of the button and the old IH, youre in the right spot now I bet we'll be seeing a couple coppers and a spanish silver soon

Cool!!!!!!!!!!! But it cant be 1853 IHP's weren't struck until 1859. It sure does look like 1853 though. very interesting. HH

You know Nothing looks right about this IH, It dose not feel like copper feels like a resin or putter, its real heavy. It has a gouge going all the way around the area where the wreath would be. The date seems really small and as you can see the coin is ripped. Like someone tried to cut out the head or something. This could be from the plow sure the but the gouge going all the way around the wreath seems hand done..
If anyone knows anything about this strange IH or has any ideas please feel free to comment.

Thanks Everyone !!

That indian looks like it had some tools put to it, as if someone tried cutting out the cntr. It was found in the field, so it may have been meant to use as a washer for a farm impliment, the side of it on the broken edge could be where the farmer slipped while useing the tools and tossed it over his shoulder,

That IS an odd IH, good washer theory.
