Cent Trifecta!

Copper set the tone of the day, (pardon the pun) with all the best finds being copper coins. We went out door knocking and the first place was a spot we have wanted to hunt for awhile but nobody had ever been home, well we found the owners home today and they were super nice and gave us permission to not only hunt this house but also another old house just down the road, and a field where there used to be Church Camp revival meetings! We spent sometime at the first house and there were not many targets, the best finds there was a 7 wheatie pocket spill with all coins dated 1925 or older including a 1912. I also found a Pocket Watch and Diane found a decorative brass piece. We decided to save the field hunt for a later time since the sky was a bit overcast and it looked like rain could come in. We went down to the second house and my first target was a 18?8 Indian Head in which someone drilled a hole right through the date. Diane found a 1930 wheatie very near where I found the Indian. It was slow going for awhile picking up some brass artifacts and the occasional wheatie including a 1911-D. Working the side yard I got a nice 12-46 signal and at 5
 
very cool trifecta im still looking for my 1st large cent hopefully ill be able to get out soon great job bell :clapping:
 
I've read that people used to sew coins into their clothes so they wouldn't lose them. Those are some neat finds.
 
Great finds Tony! Congratulations on finding someone home and also for the pictures of the finds.

Great finds. They must have made the hole with a nail or something to punch it threw. I never heard that they sew it to the clothes. When I was kid my mom put money in her bra just paper money. Learn something new every day
 
Congrats on the 1 cent trifecta. The injun is in great shape. To bad someone had to put a hole through the date.
 
Awsome hunts! Looks like a die crack on the reverse of the large cent....nge
