Rob and I have found a new spot. Rob had an exceptional day in the old coin department. I managed one little fishscale, a 1884. First time I dug one of these, boy are they thin and tiny. Along with the 1875 the 1884 is the key date with a mintage of only 200,000

This new spot should keep us busy for quite a while.

Thanks for reading
