my new nickname is TOAST

[umrgolf]

For the last two weeks I have found several nice coins and theyve all had one thing in common... ya, you guessed it, TOAST!.. At least i have a neat story that will probably never ever happen again. I got out today and it certainly wasn't the most productive day but my best find today was spotted on top of the dirt. Imagine that.. Check out these pics, this was a union garrison so this coin was likely dropped by a soldier and its my second fatty indian (1862). I got my first (1863) last week and theyre in very comparable shape, TOAST! Managed to also get a colonial copper thats in beautiful shape ya, bad joke ALSO TOAST .. even the 1912 wheatie was TOAST.. what is goins on lol The lead button is kinda neat though ... Thanks for lookin and as always HH Jeff

That IH doesn't look that bad... seen worse.

Nice digs. Sooner or later you will turn up a coin that is not toast.

Nice finds...should be some marked buttons near by...

Thanks Rust, I did forget to mention the toasted (dateless) shield nickel, toasted colonial copper from last week and the toasted one piece navy button from yesterday

 

[X-Splenda]

alot of my coins found in the field are toast also but you will get lucky and get a good condition coin!!

 

[umrgolf]

Thanks Patriot and Kell.. Hope we can keep the finds comin, just a lil better shape. What a difference a month can make.. Check out this flying eagle from about 6 weeks ago. Just snapped this not clear I know but the detail still stands out.. This is how all my coins were looking until last week

I think I'll stick with toast before I go to wheaties! Lol, I'd rather dig nice toast than a wheatie anyday

 

[allen]

id rather dig a toasted oldie like you
than this new crappy clad ive been digging !

 

[crazyjarhead]

Nice finds. Too bad the soil conditions can really destroy those old copper pennies. I've dug a few but it is rare around here because of the gentile soil to dig a toasted one, Although I did dig one on Sunday......1866

 

[gmsparky]

i don't know, maybe the fertilizer over the years eat them up. still, great finds !!!!!

 

[umrgolf]

Thanks guys, I'm not sure of the reason but it's really hit and miss around here.. Seems it's about 50/50 to dig up toast

acidic soil is not kind tends to eat things up ---well look at the bright side--- if the oldie real coppers are toast in that there soil --- modern zinc cents should burst in flames and self destruct upon touching it.

then you got a place no one has visited since 1983 or some very acidic ground . the good news it will litterly eat those zinc cents in no time flat --biodegradible cents I call em beside several other things I can"t use on this site.

Lol, ya I know what you mean... generally when you dig em they have holes or theres only about half the coin left and they are just trash.. haha, most of the sites i dig are old homesites that no longer exist so thats the main reason but they do pop up from time to time and they sound just like the halfdime that i cant seem to find (believe me i know, my pard let me see what his read when he dug it right next to me)
