A few newer finds from an old farmhouse

[RonNH]

Hunted a lawn which is rare for me, but the fields are too high to detect in until the first cutting. Got the Wash. quarter and Chinese cash coin, which I think is from the early 1900's. This stuff is not as old as I like, but I'll take it especially the silver. Ron

when you guys from NH say you find some "newer stuff", I half expect to see Seated Liberty coins. You guys and your Bust coins and Large cents!!!

Seriously, it is always nice to find silver. Regardless of the year! Congrats. HH Randy

Their "newer" stuff would be from the 1800's. There are some things from the mid to late 1700's around here but not much, mid 1800's is pretty common. If you go down to Mass., their coins date to the mid 1600's. Still new to the guys from England, but plenty old enough for us! Ron

I can't even imagine coins as old as some that I see posted. Not from around here anyway. That 1838 dime that I found with the X-70 is as old of coin that I have found. And that dates to about 15 years before this part of the Country was settled.

I remember a year or so ago when my nephew found a silver dime from the 1950's and was so excited with such an "old find". My brother and I kind of just looked at each other, since the coin was "newer" than either of us! HH Randy

a fairly modern lawn can have had homes built on it on and off for 100's of years. I realized this after pulling an old copper off the lawn of a house built in the 1930's. Nothing now is what it was a long time ago.
