on the right in the picture looks big enough to eat hay!!
 
Those are some neat coins, especially the Indian Head penny that you finally found a way to clean. Thanks for sharing, enjoyed reading about your finds with the photos. Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas) :)
 
I have found a few barbers over the years but never a seated ANYTHING. I saw a friend of mine recover an 1853 seated dime at a place in the woods once called "the old campground." It was on "old campground road" in Jefferson County Arkansas.

The rewards of metal detecting are great. Hey! Why don't you share some of your relic finds with us. I bet you have ton of it.

All my finds before 1990 disappeared when queen no. 1 gave away my treasure chest in the midst of our divorce. Breastplates, buckles, hundreds of bullets, spurs, eppullets (ms), a ton of coinage--all gone but the silver. Arrrrg. I kept me silver stored in a separate place!

Thanks for sharing buddy. Makes me want to go dry land hunting again.

those are some SWEEEEEEET lookin coins! Nice ringy too!:thumbup:
