oldest coin yet (1844 half ppenny)

[3RINGER]

Went out this afternoon to try and pull in some CW find but the property owner took me to a location he said a log cabin stood when he was a kid. Said his dad sold the logs and built the house he grew up in there.

He said it burnt in the 60's and now is just a open field. Had to dump my trash bag several times but did pull in a merc, 3wheaties and a larger coin that I can make out 1844 half penny.

Will have to do some looking to see what it is though. Thanks for looking and HH

UPDATE: found out it's a 1844 Canadian half penny . Ooh well its still my oldest

I re-sized your pics.

Cool finds. Can you read the date on the Merc?

Digginthepast, thank you for the resize.
the merc is a 192? Rubbed down pretty good onthe date side.
the wheaties are 1919/38 and 58.

Thanks again

Something not right about this coin. The letters im able to read are not what I expected. Got a cross on the front.

WTG Tom. You did well. You know that CW Cav. camp is in the area but it may take some looking. It will be well worth the search and may be on the adjoining property. I really hope you can locate it. HH, Quindy.
