Hi everyone. If youāve read my other posts about this farm that Iāve been detecting then youāll know that Iāve found a few āDandyā buttons and another button from the Colonial period there.
Well, I think I may have found something special today.
Iām going to post pictures from my phone because Iām in an area of NJ affected by Tropical Storm Isaias and we donāt have power.
If these arenāt good enough Iāll come back and add better pics when I can.
Confession: I washed the coin off when I got home and lightly brushed away the mud with a toothbrush. Iām now very sorry I did that, but I had no idea what was under the mud beforehand. I thought it was ājustā another Large Cent. (This Farm is spoiling me)
And even if this isnāt all that special, itās still the oldest coin Iāve found to date.
I think that reverse says 1783, right?
