Most of what are pictured were found at old homesites in the general close surrondings of my town. I often get most of my permission from my most available resource....my co-workers. One pic has the seated dime which that and all the clad came from the local town square by a hospital. Another pic is an 1859 Indian Head penny..which is the first year they were minted and the only year without the sheild on the back. It's a "fatty" same as a couple I got that were 1863 and 1864, but, no sheild. I've got a bunch more pics of more finds and I will be putting them up as well. About three months ago I had my book of best finds...found by someone else, so to speak.....maybe $300.00 worth of silver....which isn't the point...fact is, I found them all and $300 dollars wouldn't have come close to the feeling I had knowing that I found them....so....live and learn.....I'm starting a new book and this time it stays near and dear. Thanks all for sharing!! HH and GL!!
