Oldest coin of the season so far!…..

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

Two hunts in the same town, one day apart. Thought I would test a spot and first target was a 1901 V nickel. (same year as the one I got last week) Test confirmed, Grabbed the rest of the gear and got started. Next target was an 1849 large cent. Woooo Hoooo! I ended up with some wheats, and a sterling military pin along with misc, and trash. Need to clean the LC up some more but wanted to share it now. Went back the next day and got more wheats, a silver Rosie, and a clay pipe stem. Also got an old printing plate not pictured. I'll be going back soon.
