Nap time hunt.

[MassDirtFisher]

Im sorry for the infrequent posts. I try to hunt when I can. Im a new father, I have a 15 month old, and one in the oven,and very busy with work. so my hunt time is limited at the moment. I did put my little guy down for a nap and thought what about the backyard and the wooded area?? I have been thinking about this place for a while now and the warm weather made it ideal. So I ventured into the woods with low expectations and fresh batteries, I was there for about 45min. to an hour, In total I got a clad dime , a few shotgun shell bases and a nice small copper. Im not 100% on the ID, It looks like a half cent, draped?? Its exactly the size of a nickel but much thinner...any ideas?? Thanks for looking, and Happy Hunting!!

Wish I could find something like that in MY backyard lol
It looks a bit toasty. Have you tried cleaning it, other than soap and water? Any details come out?

Nice find though, especially in your back yard! I'll be over this evening to get the rest for ya lol

hey Tim nice to see you get out again :yes: , i agree with the Toadman as it is probably a farthing but i'm not ruling out a half cent either . any way to get a real good closeup of both sides .
