My oldest largie and she’s a beaut

[postalgriff]

Got permission on an old property and found some pretty cool stuff. Haven’t dug a LC in a couple of years so I was super stoked when this one popped out at about 10”. People didn’t start settling in this area until the 1830s, so it’s difficult to find coins this old around here. The Michigan soil was kind to her… Also dug a pretty sweet relic commemorating a Maccabees camp in Kalamazoo in 1910. Also sweet condish anyway, thanks for looking and HH y’all, Griff

thanks cannonball! Gave it a bath in hot H2O2 and the used and old worn out chore boy scrub pad on it. I can’t take credit for the condition though, it’s definitely the soil.

Thanks man! Not sure about the gold face. I’m assuming it’s a Native American face and it looks like it was attached to maybe a brooch or pin of some sort.

That Large Cent is outstanding. You don't see them like that very often. I like that medal also.
