I hunted an old ghost town today. Very few signals but there was a high return on the few holes I dug. My good finds were two large cents, a war nickel and a rosie!
The better of the large cents looks to be an 1820 which would make it my oldest coin yet. For a large cent it has a surprisingly small date. I'm afraid to pick at the other one for fear of making it worse than it already is. So far I've only hit them with a toothbrush.
