The 1700s Club

[Dirt Junkie]

Today was big. After a long slump, I broke into the 1700s (oldest find to date). I've been working a 1700s farm where the buildings are being demolished. Past digs brought the usual clad and some odd relics dating back to the 1920s. Today however I found a few goodies (a zincoln, a nasty looking '44 Merc and nice '36 wheatie) and then broke into the 1700s with this 1787 Nova Eborac (New York) Copper Half Penny. Still alot of ground to explore on the farm and hopefully more goodies like this. Thanks for looking.

Not quite as clear as the otherside. Thinking about sending it out for a cleaning job.

I wouldn't do anything else to this copper. It is already down to the base copper, so I can't see anything coming off better. Great find!
