Today I got together with heavymetalnut for a little colonial hunt. We have hunted this field a few times in the past and have done very well. Alot of buttons and now 8 coppers from this field, and a little half reale. Today was brutal, the wind was enough to make a grown man cry and the ground was frozen solid for the most part. The bottom of my heel is bruised from POUNDING on my shovel breaking through the manure frost. I had an awesome time today, scored a nice 1834 Matron head, buttons,an early dog tax tag, a lead seal, and a neat sash buckle. Thanks for lookin folks!

Wow Jess! :shocked01: You guys scored some sweet, sweet finds!
I think I'd put up with a little manure too for some finds like those!
Especially the Reale! :drool: :drool: :clapping: Sweet find right there!
The LC is really nice too! Especially for coming from a corn field! :clapping:
Awesome hunt!
Congrats! :grin:
Are you able to get a date off of the dog tax? :drool: :->

The dog tax tag has a date of 1903 on it.

We've been lucky with the temps....i guess manure freezes before the ground.
That was a super productive hunt you had. I'd stand in poop with sub zero wind chills for those finds too. Look on the bright side, the temp probably held the smell down. :yes:

That was a great hunt, Jesse! Very nice finds, especially that 1834 Large Cent! :loveit:
Any chance that you can post a better photo of it? It looks to be a really sharp coin!
