OLDEST U.S. COIN TO DATE FROM MY FIELDS

[civilman1]

After the dusting of snow melted yesterday I decided to hit the field's and leave the yard alone.Glad I did,started off with what I thought was another IH but after cleaning I was handed another flat button (ORANGE*COLOUR).Picked up my second only bale seal as well.Working my way along the driveway I get a solid,deep 79-83 VDI on the MXT.I planted the shovel and 1 more scoop later out pop's this nice little copper disc,first thing that came to mind was Half Cent by the size.It ended up being a 1808 Draped Bust HC,my oldest U.S. coin to date Last year I found a 1809 in the yard.Then came the snow again so I decided to pack it up and travel the 40 yd.'s back home Thank's for looking!!

I like the 1808 hc civilman, sure is nice you can walk out the front door and go digging like that.
Looks cold! 12 degrees here this morning, no digging for me but I'm ready.

Thank's Nut I did actually dig out one of the privy's but when I got down around 2 ft. or so it turned out that every 200 lb. field stone found it's way for the "fill" list Need some help on those puppy's!!!
