That Large Cent Site Surpises Me Again!

[osgood]

OK folks I returned to the site that yielded me 4 large cents, a nice button, a bank token and some nice sleigh bells. (See my entry June 5th) I hunted the path (logging road?) that runs about 50 ft above it. I thought I found and Indian head cent. But when I got home, what I thought was an Indian was a woman facing left. On the back was a wreath which in the subdued light of the very shaded trail I assume said one cent. When I gently cleaned that it said Army and Navy. In by coin book it said it is a Civil War Token. I can read 186? It is in very poor shape and dont know if I will get the last #. A denomiantion amt I couldnt find, unless it is on one of the edges. I notice if I even touch one of those "bumps" it is crumbling. It said in the book some didnt have designated value. I tell you between this find and the others in the past week, I rate this as the best detecting week of my life! I am in upstate NY, I did hear some troops camped in the upper hills here. I am going back there again next week. By the way Osgood is my last name, Happy Hunting.

Sounds like you've found the "spot" bud. Hunt that puppy to death.
