Great Day In The Iron Field!

[Bell-Two]

We went out to the “Iron Field” Saturday and we had a super day. Doug started it off with an 1832 Capped Bust Half Dime…laying on top of the ground!



I had been digging some buckles and shotgun head stamps when I dug a first for me, a Quarter Cut Large Cent, a Classic Head!





Diane was next to score a first a 1857 Flying Eagle



I got several nice buttons an Attleboro gilt button and a W.H. Jones & Co. button which dates 1835-1840







I also got a 1920 Merc and finished up with an 1845 Large Cent and an Arrowhead. A great day for all!

Nice finds, I just finished watching the video. HH, Dave.

I'm glad that all three of you were able to get some nice finds, Tony! Me and Doug both found 1832 Capped Bust Half Dimes this year.

Congrats on your Large Cent, Merc, and Classic Head 1/4 cent piece.

A Flying Eagle is still on my bucket list. Good job on Diane getting her first!

Those are some quality finds! Still looking for a capped bust and you found one right on top of the ground, how cool is that!

wow a capped bust silver just laying on top of the ground , "you guys out in the mid-west have it easy out your way " Tony . we have to dig for our old silver unfortunately the cut large cent coin is from a "matron head" type copper . the stars on the classic types don't go all the way around the coin's obverse , the last star on the classic head parallels the "T" in Liberty . Yours has another star (or partial star) further to the left of this point and classic heads don't but Matron's and braided hair types do.
