I was able to do some more detecting at 2 permissions and found some nice keepers. 9 Wheat pennies, 1912 V nickel, 3 Indian head pennies 1894,1899, 1869, 2 silver half dollars 1901 Barber half and a 1945 Walking Liberty half both found at the same permission, and an old Military button that was manufactured between 1828 and 1834. The front of the button is in bad shape but the company on the back mark dates it to these years. With much speculation I can almost see an eagle sitting on top of a cannon, but that is kind of wishful thinking. Robinsons Jones & Co. Nice cooler weather but we need rain in Pa. Dry and hard to dig. Thanks for looking and good luck hunting. IMG_0002.JPGIMG_0003.JPGIMG_0004.JPGIMG_0005.JPGIMG_0006.JPGIMG_0007.JPGIMG_0008.JPGIMG_0009.JPG

Congrats! Some of those coins look to be in really great shape. Did you clean them at all, or are you blessed with gentle dirt?

The silver was just soap and water. Indians we're cleaned with Andes Pencils. The Wheats were soaked in peroxide and finished with a fine brass brush. V nickel was done with Andres pencils and the button with a lemon juice soak.
 

Outstanding hunt! :notworthy:
 

That is an incredible group of finds! The 69 Indian is in great shape and worth some $$- Congrats!
 

holy Spit. You are way to calm to have found 2 half dollars! How About a YIPEEEEEE!!!!?
