Very Short Hunt Gives Up A 1800's Coin

[E-Trac-Ohio]

On the way back from a job estimate yesterday about 30 miles from home I noticed a small sidewalk tear out.
This section of old sidewalk was just removed and was only about 50 ft. long.
Unless the weather is extremely hot or cold I always have my detecting gear with me in the vehicle.
Only took 15 minutes or so to hunt the area - glad I stopped - found a little Penny Trifecta.

Indian Cent - 1892
Wheat Cent - 1940
Memorial Cent - 1969

Good Hunting !

I agree - the heavy green patina looks great to most of us in the hobby.
But when I showed one to the owner of a local coin shop years ago - he said that coin collectors hate them.
