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 :thumbsup: 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 ;D Thank's for looking!!
