Today was my last hunt of the year. Lucky to get this one in too....as the snow melted in a hurry. :yes:
I found a hole that is on the main road. This hole has been filled in and a bit over grown. I followed an old road behind this hole to another one with center chimney. :cheesysmile:
The draped bust (EDIT-capped) is a 1796
The token says B and Z 10cents
The buckle just has a date on it... 1854
I don't know what that pipe looking thing with two hangers is. :dontknow:
Thanks for looking!
wow Drew sweet liberty cap :loveit: the item in the second to last picture is a musket ramrod guide. congrats on getting out and great ending to the year my friend .

Great hunt drew. Absolutely love the Liberty Cap, that one is still on my bucket list:smitten:
Thanks Todd, I would have guessed you dug plenty of those capped cents. But I know you are busy digging GWs :lol:Quote:

Great way to end the year in style Drew with some nice digs. :yes: Yep, those Liberty Caps don't grow on trees. Nice score for sure. That ramrod holder is also a sweet find.:congrats:
Congrats on the finds and what a great way to end the season. HH
Wow nice relics and a Capped Bust Large Cent...out of this world :twirlingeyes: Did you get a chance to check it for variety yet? I hope you have a Merry Christmas Drew and I am looking forward to more of your posts!
Thank you everyone....no Tony I haven't checked the variety as yet. When I posted it I thought it to be a draped....that's how observant/ informed I am :lol::rolleyes:
I wish you all the best this season.
Sweet Liberty cap!!!
Thank you Coop! Tony, My best guess is a Sheldon 81 as pictured below....but I have no experience with this sort of thing.
Great Liberty Cap Drew:groovy: Dan is so jealous :) A lot of nice items from there.
Drew, that 1796 Liberty Cap large cent is a true thing of beauty. :smitten:
Very fortunate that it has a nice clear date on it too. In fact, the date is about the sharpest feature on the obverse.
Congrats on the incredible hunt! :notworthy:
