    i you want to see something nice from 1798 take a look.

    Me and S.C. Keith were on a site that had been hit hard by others we pulled a few keepers from what they lefted. He got four flats and I got 2 flats and a cool coin check it out. Name:  DSCN1523.jpg

    I don't know if that's an old hit ,I want to think it is because I would be sick if I thought I hit it. I think its old because it looks patina in the dents.

    That 1798 Large Cent is stunning! Definitely one of the nicest Draped Bust examples I've seen. I would be on cloud nine for a month if I ever found something like that.

    But let's not overlook that 1870 Indian Head, that is a relatively scarce date.

    Incredible finds!

    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

    Saw your vid Calabash. Nice old coin in awesome shape. Rarely do you see them come out of the ground like that. I nabbed 3 DBs last year but all are no or partial dates. Would be in high heaven to pull a beauty like that out of the ground. HH!
