    Your finds are always incredible, Todd! You are an incredible detectorist.

    Those are some amazing coins that we just can't find here in the midwest.

    I would love to see some better pictures that are larger, maybe closeups of both sides of each coin.

    Congrats on the finds!

    Like Tony said-incredible finds. LCs are rare at best here in the midwest, more so the half cents, and I don't think anyone here will ever see a Fugio or KG outside a miracle. They look to be in great condition-awesome finds!

    What you say is so true. Here in CT and NY my hunt partner GKMan and I literally dig LCs all the time its just the thing we find. Don't get me wrong we get excited and are totally into it but it is almost common place to us here. If we don't get at least one every other hunt we start checking coil connections. Be well HH

    it is nice to hit a Fugio though
