My first IH / 1800's coin.
I found this at a school yard this past weekend. It's not an old school. (Built in 50's or 60's) I have pulled a ton of clad from the field but the only old coin I ever found there was a 1950's wheatie. I was shocked when I pulled this out of the hole. Considering about half the wheats I get are toasted I'm surprised it's in as good as condition as it is. NC soil is ROUGH on copper. I just dry brushed it with a toothbrush.
