Highs & Lows, That's Life

[DigginVt]

Tuesday started well, had a short 1.5 hour hunt at a new place before the weather was supposed to get BAD! First signal at the rear of the old stone house was a crisp 12/45 at 5", popped the heavy compacted soil to see an early LC, after cleaning a well aged 1798 Draped Bust LC. My oldest large cent, sorry for the pics.

After digging a few newer coins and a 1890 Indian ( in decent shape) got another 12/45/47 at 9" under a tree and got a 1847 Large Cent in great shape. My best looking LC to date.

Well then the weather started to get bad and I headed home. That's where the Lows come in. The weather got terrible, straight line winds and rain. Lost three trees and power for 12 hours. Got it all cleaned up today so I can hunt tomorrow

A very nice L.C. indeed !
But too bad about your tree.
What kind was it ???
We had lovely Bradford Pears before a storm blew through and snapped them off like matchsticks.
Then we found out they are bad for splintering and snapping off.

We lost a silver maple (pictured) and two apple trees.
