1812 House Hunt

[DukeOBass]

Came up with a spot to hunt on this gorgeous afternoon. Asked about hunt the farm field, but found out it was planted with Winter Wheat so the guy said hunt the yard. I expected the field would be easier to get than the yard!

I found some clad and a Bell. No silver......

The best finds.....

Look closely with a loupe, there is no such thing as a U.S. large cent in 1927, only Canadian. It ios probably an 1827......nge

Ooopppps! That was a BIG typo.
I just noticed that the updated one has a rotated die. Is there a way to determine the date by that error?

Wow a two LC day is awesome! Rotated dies were pretty common in the 1800s....I dug a 1864 fatty indian today that had a serious die rotation, bery common

Thanks for the input Terry. I had two 2 LC days this summer! I dug 7 this year! I'm happy with that!

 

[DukeOBass]

I was surprised that I didn't dig any Indians but the yard is extremely trashy. Lots of signals and lots of nulling. I know there's good stuff amongst all of the trash.

Also looks like the dated coin was starting to turn into one of those mysterious copper rings.......lol nge

 

[DukeOBass]

First time since the beginning of October!!!! It felt good!!!

Congrats on the Large Cents! Two in one day is awesome =)

 

[DukeOBass]

I've only done that once before at an 1820 house detecting with my brother-in-law this past summer. He got two and I got two during the same hunt. We both broke into the 1700s with 1797 and 1798 Draped Bust Cents. That was an awesome hunt!!
