Thread: 3 Fatty Spill, 2 Cent

    3 Fatty Spill, 2 Cent

    Finally able to get out after work this week. I haven't hunted prior to this week for a long time

    The wheats are all 1st and 2nd decade, the fatties are two 1860s and an 1863. I have already found a few fatties this year I also found two trolley tokens to go with my trolley key and button I found lately.
    One of the other IHs was an eyeball just sitting on a rock!!

    Thanks for looking!

    Drew my man...great finds for sure. Man, those 2 centers will certainly put a smile on a detectorist's face won't they? I've only found 1 ever. Getting ready to hit the colonial farm fields this Monday after a looooong hiatus up here in northern New England. Can't wait!

    Grats on all those finds, Drew. You need to take me to some of your spots....there's apparently enough finds to share. . That 2 center looks like it'll clean well. And that 1863 fatty is in great shape.
    Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.

    Fantastic finds, Drew. In my 40+ years of detecting I have only found one fatty, so finding three of them in a spill is pure fantasy land for me. They are in decent shape too.

    The Two Cent Piece is awesome as well. Very nice detail on it still.

    Lifetime totals:
    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves
