    1853 times two......

    cross town from me their remodeling an old house that was built in the 1860's,took me three days to find the owner,I asked him if I could look for some old coins,and he said it would be ok till they start redoing the lawn,so I came home and got my hunting dudds on and my detector and back I went,was there for about an hour and half,not to bad digging sence we got a little rain,but anyway
    I ended up with 9 wheats 1919 to 1956 and a 1958 rosie I also got a 1853 seated dime with arrows and 1853 seated half with arrows and rays which came out of the same hole,I also got $1.34 in clad,thanks for looking and HH out there...
