To the woods.

[Curious The George]

I went out in the woods near my house today. Found half a horse shoe, a mule shoe about 8" deep, a bunch of nails, a canning jar lid and the attached. Not bad for my second outing with my detector.

Is there any thing out of the ordinary for there not to be a mint mark on the back?

I learned something. The books say don't rub the coins with your thumb when you find them. Wait till you can properly clean them. Now I know why. I'll not try and rub the dirt off again. Got some fine scratches from the sand that was on it.

Nothing out of the ordinary....Those coins minted back then with no mint mark were minted in Philadelphia. Nice find
