This was found in the front yard of my Uncles home which was built in the early 1800`s. It was down about 10 inches and was found with a dfx.

Nice nab at 10 in! Love the detail on the date and its chocolate color. DFX is super!

not a bad looking coin, especially for one that has been in the ground for almost 200 years.

Thanks all for the nice comments. I have been hitting my Uncles yard every year since 1977 and it still produces. The house was lived in until around the late 40`s by which time it was being used as a storage area for hay. The yard and the rest of the farm had cows on it until 1961 at which time it was sold. The new owner fully restored the house over a four year period and then sold it to my uncle in 1974. Mostly what I find in the yard dates back to around early 1800`s.........lots and lots of flat buttons and iron trash.
