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

I like that lead button .

the button might be lead --but since lead is so soft --often it was blended with other metals and made into "pewter" which was much harder and was commonly used quite a bit in the old days for many uses .

Thanks guys, the button is 100% lead.. It's the first lead button I've ever dug and I actually have quite a few pewter buttons

Hey Jeff,

Keep lookin' bud. I know someday soon you will dig some better looking coins, so you won't need to POST TOASTIES

Sorry for the lame humor.

 

[WhiteHunter]

the coins look pretty good to me

Most coppers come up toast its rare to find them in good condition but not that rare. You'll find coppers in great shape and they will be ones you want to be in good shape. You know like busted stuff, then you'll find your silver coins that tend to come out perfect lots of the time. You'll be one of those who digs a perfect bust quarter or something.

Great finds,

Keep @ it and HH!!

What illness your "toast" coins have must be a worldwide epidemic. I found 3 solid copper coins here in S. Korea this last
weekend......all pre-1910. U guessed it!!! Toast. (Well, when you get toast, then pack some butter with you.)
You are in the right area. Found the three.....toast.....but found a holed brass coin, dated 1888.....same site, same dirt.....but it's
like new.......one never knows.

 

[umrgolf]

Ya hike, you never know whats gonna come out or how its gunna look... if you look at my one of the previous replies i made on here, its about 50/50 to dig some toast

Kelly, if I dig a bust quarter, can you have it? Let me be as nice as possible... NO WAY JOSE! haha, id let you hold it tho
