Four and a half cents the hard way

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

Detecting every time I move sod i turn it over, the side walls then the spoil heap where the loose dirt is spread out. Using the 6 inch coil is perfect for getting around roots with plenty of depth, You tube "Time team" viewer discretion is advised, it's addictive LOL
 
you are just like me..you only zing the best coin lol..nice finds.. a very thick patch of nails in a small concentrated could indicate where a house or barn may have burned down..
