Thread: No Snow Near Hole

  1. #1

    No Snow Near Hole

    Today was my last hunt of the year. Lucky to get this one in too....as the snow melted in a hurry.
    I found a hole that is on the main road. This hole has been filled in and a bit over grown. I followed an old road behind this hole to another one with center chimney.

    The draped bust (EDIT-capped) is a 1796
    The token says B and Z 10cents
    The buckle just has a date on it... 1854

    I don't know what that pipe looking thing with two hangers is.

    Thanks for looking!

    Thank you everyone....no Tony I haven't checked the variety as yet. When I posted it I thought it to be a draped....that's how observant/ informed I am
    I wish you all the best this season.

    Drew, that 1796 Liberty Cap large cent is a true thing of beauty.

    Very fortunate that it has a nice clear date on it too. In fact, the date is about the sharpest feature on the obverse.

    Congrats on the incredible hunt!
