Tally from old mill site

[Anonymous]

I've been hunting a field that contained an old grist mill( built in 1821 burned down in 1895) off and on for several months.The site also had a house on it that was occupied up until the 1960's. I found an 1868 map of the township I live in and figured out where the mill sat. I lucked out with the site still being an open field. Here is what I've found so far.
12 Indian Head Pennies ranging from 1865-1908
1857 Flying Eagle Penny
1913 Buffalo Nickel
1907 "V" Nickel
1867 (Shield Type) Nickel
1840 Half Dime
1836 Half Dime
1920 Merc.Dime
1934 Merc. Dime
1941 Merc. Dime
1952 Silver Roos. Dime
1953 Silver Roos. Dime
1829 Dime
5 large cents 1828- 1850
1802-1808 Draped Bust Half Cent( Not sure of date but can tell by leaf pattern that it's an 02-08.
1773 Spanish Reel
2 dozen old buttons
several tokens
lots of neat little relics
Sure am glad I got into this site when I did. Found out recently it was sold to a developer and will be devided into lots soon.

They may tear it up but don't forget that that can be an opportunity for you to get the deeper stuff.
Keep going back as soon as they start moving dirt around and I think you will be blessed with may more good finds.
