    I'm glad you remembered to post the results of that hunt here, Don, because those were some awesome finds! You are on a roll with the Large Cents lately! That one has some interesting blue green toning on it.

    That Shield Nickel is a looker too! It must have been pretty new when it was dropped. It's unusual to see such a clear date. Great find!

    Lifetime totals:
    9 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, 19 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    1850s to 1950s Lots of people running around there. Still inhabited? Nice job, as always, Don!
