Got in a couple of hunts this week. The first one was at a new field and managed a 1914 wheat, D buckle, round ball and a possible watch winder.

The second hunt was at a farm that I have been waiting for the corn to be cut. I decided to walk around the perimeter of the field and I got a toasted copper. I can see nothing on it, how about you???

Decided to go and hit the front yard again. I was after some wheat's as I need about 80 for 1000.
Well no wheat's but two nice buttons. One a real dandy with fancy and flattened shank. The other a flat with broken shank.

Well 2 more coins for the signature and thanks for reading. HH everyone.

Possible NJ copper Al ? I am reaching but that straight line could indicate the plow or the ground line. That's my W.A.G. anyway.

Very nice dandy button Al! Coppers that toasted deserve a rub with some brillo to get a bit more detail!

Grats on the dandy and the copper. I heard a few have tumbled their toasted coins and some detail magically appears. Idk.. maybe you could give it a try. Won't hurt the value, despite this "never clean your coins". Some coins it's just inevitable that the detail gets lost. Even if you just let it dry.

I have a wine glass full of wiped coppers, I'm going to try this.
