Nice Draped Bust LC Find

[Metdet49]

Hi all. I haven't had a chance to get out MDing too much lately but finally got a couple days last week and yesterday. I got permission to hunt a couple cellar holes near my house. On my second trip to the one I found a nice crotal bell with the initials E H C on it (maker's mark?) Any help on dating this would be appreciated. I'm thinking mid 1800's.

On my second trip to a field near the other cellar hole my second target turned out to be an 1805 Draped Bust LC in nicer condition than the 1805 I found this past May.

I think that both sites show good potential for future visits.

Sorry I messed up the picture placement. I'm very computer challenged.

Thanks for looking.

That DB cent is a special find - we just don't see them with really sharp details and so little corrosion - Congratulations !

These two are in lovely condition - WOW! Looking forward to whatever else emerges from those two cellar holes!

Years ago before I started metal detecting, I lived in way-upstate New York on 14 acres with 1840's house & barn, between Plattsburgh & the Canadian border -- sure wish I could detect there now! (I did dig some really neat old bottles from the homestead's dump though.) ANDI

Thanks golden years. You were way up north! I'm down near the capital district area, but my son attended SUNY Plattsburgh so I'm familiar with that area. He's out your way now seeking his fortune in San Francisco. Hopefully I'll have more finds to post in the future.

Awesome Draped Bust Cent!!! The crotal bell is really cool with the initials on it. I have found several intact ones myself but they are unmarked except for the number 1.
