Four and a half cents the hard way

Thanks Bootyhoundpa, It can happen to the best of us LOL I am right on the house I ran into the fireplace base {brick in situ} last time out. I believe it just rotted down no evidence of burning other than right around the fireplace.

At this point in time I’m willing to make you a profitable deal, trade you my last weeks shiny ‘61 quarter for your 4.5 cents!!!! C’mon, ya trust me right?????
Jealous, we just dont get those around here…..

I know how you feel about "location", I see people back east find colonial and I'm envious. Do you have natural gold in your area?

Grounds froze but I don't give up without a fight. I have been shelf cutting an early site about 18 inches and detecting my way down. The nails/iron are thick as can be on this house site and are masking goodies as I imagined. Surface detecting has brought some memorable finds in the past large cents, half dimes. counterfeit shield nickels. countless civil war buttons to name a few. So, with the owner's permission I am conducting a "Time Team" inspired dig "by myself" LOL
1852 large cent with signature LOL
1868 3 cent nickel My second in 2 months
2 more "Tokens" CMH 7 and CMH anchor
cut Indian head 187?
silver plated dogs head
Lots of glass, pottery and brick

You have made some incredible finds! You did "kiss" that large cent pretty darn good. This is wonderful the landowner is allowing you to perform an archaeological dig. I can't wait to see what else you discover. Did you even feel the cold?
