Was too wet to cut lawns first thing in the morning, so I had the idea that Craig and I should go hunt for a hour or so and let them dry a bit...we went to a yard he's done well at and I've found a few things there myself in the past. Think the house is from about 1890 but the land was farm field before that...and after digging some lead, piece of sheet copper, a wheat, NYC transit token, a big 1917 English penny and a clad quarter my last target was definitely a farm field loss... it was face down only about 4-5" deep, and it looks like the 6th copper/Large Cent of the season will clean up pretty well... Imagine that, the Captain with no silver:shock:...still, it was a successful hunt and a fun time:yes: That's all for now, besides a few pix when I clean the coin some...thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!
 
No Silver this time Bruce but a very fine outing just the same. Congrats on the Large Cent. It has been a couple of years since I last dug one. Trapper
 
LC's from the east coast don't count as "atteboys". Since they are everywhere. Sanboxes, farm fields, modern yards, etc.... Hhharrruummmppphhh. ;)

That is our only consolation here on the west coast. For some reason, more gold coins get found out here. Ironically I can think of more gold coins than large cents having been found in CA . Totally unlike the east coast ratios.

But go figure: At the time of westward-ho migration: Cargo space/weight was at a premium. So when preparing to travel westward: Is it better to take 500 large cents ? Or a single $5 gold ? Doh !
