Folks,
These are some of the hardest-worked for finds I have ever made requiring removal of many entangled crabapple trees meshed together with wild grape vines and other undergrowth. I am tired now but it was worth it. Managed the '18-D Merc (anyone want to venture a grade?; doesn't seem to be a good strike as the bands are all but missing but what is there seems to have little wear). I also landed five wheats ('13, '18, '19, '20 and I think a '52...can you tell which coin was bathed in crop fertilizer and found in the field rather than the woods?), an '05 IH, a gold-plated button (also found in the field) with a copper or brass backing but with no markings, and a pin? with 88 on the front (there was wood stuck to the shaft but that might have taken place after it was dropped. It is about the size of a round thumb tack. Were there any 88th regiments from PA or OH/NY in the Civil War?
I know there are still many goodies in this place because I have barely touched this particular part of the 180 acre turn-of-the-century property.
Peace,
T-man
