Size:  35.4 KBAfter the 1829 half cent I found on Sunday I was pretty happy. I'm happier today after the 1788 Connecticut copper I got this morning! Also found a nice old flat button, a few wheaties and a 1945 merc to go with the 1939 merc I found last night(not pictured). And I found this stuff in the outfield of a park in my town(different park then I found the half cent in). Noxman Steve found a 1834 large cent and 5 silver dimes in the same area yesterday so we surmised there must have been a home there long ago. I gave up on this park years ago but this proves once again they're never hunted out.

    I can't believe I'm finding this stuff within a mile of my house in public parks. Blind squirrel theory I guess lol
