    My 2nd seated half ever

    Got my oldest coin found while detecting this morning with the Fisher F5----and it was only 4 inches deep.
    Out to an area that Germans settled in the 1840's and built a church in 1848 that is still being used.
    By chance Google Earth showed a tiny park area next to a creek so I took my F5 to clean up the park.

    Got some clad.

    A wheat cent, and an Indian Head penny and my prize!!!!!

    [attach=2]

    No.... not the bullet !!!!! rofl The seated Half.........

    [attach=3]

    This is the oldest coin I have dug while metal detecting ---beating my 1875 Seated Half and 1868 Shield Nickel.

    [size=1t]YAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!! happydance02 <: |
