Me and S.C. Keith were on a site that had been hit hard by others we pulled a few keepers from what they lefted. He got four flats and I got 2 flats and a cool coin check it out. 576175761857619576205762157622

I don't know if that's an old hit ,I want to think it is because I would be sick if I thought I hit it. I think its old because it looks patina in the dents.

'Tis a beauty Calabash. She has aged very well over the centuries.

That 1798 Large Cent is stunning! :loveit: Definitely one of the nicest Draped Bust examples I've seen. :yes: I would be on cloud nine for a month if I ever found something like that.

But let's not overlook that 1870 Indian Head, that is a relatively scarce date.

Incredible finds! :clapping:

Saw your vid Calabash. Nice old coin in awesome shape. Rarely do you see them come out of the ground like that. I nabbed 3 DBs last year but all are no or partial dates. Would be in high heaven to pull a beauty like that out of the ground. HH!
