My First Year In

[Prestigitation Digger]

I have always been interested in history. But it takes on a new meaning when you unearth it yourself. I am very new to this and have a great respect for anyone doing this longer than me. Many strange firsts (first silver was a 1943 war nickel-first 1800's coin 1851 large cent). The strange thing is they both doubled on another property only a mile and a half away. Found and returned my first lost ring with a history to follow(lost 45 years). Lincoln death medal that looks as if its been torn from some ones neck then cut in half(tensions were high here in the north too-sorry haven't photographed this piece yet). Another northern civil war era find was a 1864 2 cent piece. Within the same area I Have found a relic dating to the 1700's(one of 2 partial Robert Well's bell pieces this one silver). On a trip to Pennsylvania I happened to dig the other Well's piece and a 1746 half penny. I consider myself very lucky with what I have been able to find with local research and some hard work with my first short year of 5 months in.

Nice! You had some really good firsts! It's unique to dig and hold in your hand an object no one has seen or touched in hundreds of years! Phenomenal !
