Hi, all:
Had a great day today with my F75. Found an 1887 IH penny and an 1823 over 2 Large Cent. Oldest American minted coin I've ever found. Been years since I found a large cent. Found four bullets, a Gallagher cartridge, a flat button with the words "Imperial Quality" on the back, as well as an intact shank. Not a button guy, so if any of you experts know anything about the button, let me know. Also found a couple of harmonica reed pieces, part of a brass spoon and three toe protectors. One perfect and two mangled. This is the fifth IH penny I've found in this Camp/Skirmish site. All post Civil War.
Thanks for lookin' and keepon diggin'
