Here's some of my better finds from several hunts over the last two weeks.
These coins and relics were found at a few very old houses, two different Civil War era cellar holes and at a church that was built in 1867.
The 1901 Barber Dime that I found at an old abandoned farm house yesterday is the 100th Silver Dime that I've found after 2 1/2 years in this hobby.
Dime total so far ... (1) Capped Bust - (10) Barber's - (52) Merc's and (37) Silver Rosie's = (100).
I only found one coin at each of the old cellar holes that I hunted - a 1828 Large Cent at one and a 1831 Large Cent at the other - no complaints here !
These cellar holes are about 10 miles apart from each other and both are in very remote locations way back in the woods - so I had to hike in to both of them.
The copper ring is stamped - "18K" inside - must have been gold plated at one time - this ring must be older because it was down a measured 10" under a large tree root at the church.
The $1.00 "Red Goose Shoes" Trade Token is from the 1950's - found this one in the woods behind the old church.
The Shell & Sunoco Gasoline collector series coins have the US Presidents and famous US landmarks on them - from the early 1960's - both were found at the same old house.
