Some recent finds, carved 3-ringer, Large Cents, and more

[oxbowbarefoot]

Here are a few finds from 3 of my recent hunts. I found the carved 3-ringer near Lake George NY at an old farm. The lock cover was found at one of my favorite farm sites. I found both pieces separately. The farmer and I were looking at them when he put figured out that they snapped together. The large cents were found at another site that I had been to in the past with Worldtalker, but I had not found anything of interest at before. Now going back with the Deus, I have found 4 1800-1807 Large Cents and a 1895 Indian Head. No silver yet, but I know it is lurking in that field somewhere. (Worldtalker found a Walker there when he was with me, and another detectorist who was working the field found a seated dime)

Gee, I'd be happy find one large cent. It's still on my want list. They're pretty rare here in SoCal. Any place old enough to have one is an historical site. Good job! On a side note, I used to go to Lake George when I was a teenager but it was before I started detecting. I'll have to make a trip back there sometime.

Dead is correct, bullet is not cared, the mark is from a rammer, and side marks from rifling.

Nice finds
