Great Day In The Iron Field!

[Bell-Two]

We went out to the “Iron Field” Saturday and we had a super day. Doug started it off with an 1832 Capped Bust Half Dime…laying on top of the ground!

I had been digging some buckles and shotgun head stamps when I dug a first for me, a Quarter Cut Large Cent, a Classic Head!

I also got a 1920 Merc and finished up with an 1845 Large Cent and an Arrowhead. A great day for all!

Nice finds, I just finished watching the video. HH, Dave.

[Tony Two-Cent]

I'm glad that all three of you were able to get some nice finds, Tony! Me and Doug both found 1832 Capped Bust Half Dimes this year. :)

Congrats on your Large Cent, Merc, and Classic Head 1/4 cent piece. :thumbsup01:

A Flying Eagle is still on my bucket list. Good job on Diane getting her first! :clapping:

:congrats:

[The Rebel]

Those are some quality finds! Still looking for a capped bust and you found one right on top of the ground, how cool is that!

[aloldstuff]

Great hunting with some great finds. How cool is that, a capped bust on top of the ground. :congrats:to all

:shocked05: wow a capped bust silver just laying on top of the ground , "you guys out in the mid-west have it easy out your way " Tony . we have to dig for our old silver ;) unfortunately the cut large cent coin is from a "matron head" type copper . the stars on the classic types don't go all the way around the coin's obverse , the last star on the classic head parallels the "T" in Liberty . Yours has another star (or partial star) further to the left of this point and classic heads don't but Matron's and braided hair types do.
