Two Latest Hunts ... An Old IH, A Buff In The Rough, And My 2nd LC Of The Year

[JimBeHuntin']

Got out for a couple of hunts this week in between rain storms. The first hunt was at an old farmstead I've been researching ... found lots of brick and glass shards but little else. I did manage a rough Buffalo nickle with no date and my second Large copper of the year (undatable and unrecognizable as usual for me) but at least I had the joy seeing the big green disc peeking from the hole. My second hunt was at my old store site which has been hunted amazingly hard this year but still gives up a coin or two. This trip I found an Indian Head which appears to be 1863? but its hard to tell in the rough condition that its in. I also found two wheat cents (1942 & 1952), a silver plated spoon handle, a silver plated whatzit, a small buckle, part of a key, a large bullet lead ( and I mean large), and some other bits and bobs. Thanks for looking ~ Jimmy

Jim thats a great day. I would say 1863 or 68 on the penny.. looks like the ground has been rough on them.. I know the feeling on that one

Later.

Hey Jazdo ... I believe 1863 ... it feels like a fatty to me and you are right about the soil around here being tough on coppers for sure.

That's a big ole' boat tail bullet...probably a .30'06.

Nicely done!

Thanks Kevin ... it seems larger than a 30 06 but I haven't got one to compare with.
