1825 & 1831 US Large Cents, 1900 IHP, Skeleton Key, Mouth Harp, Gilt Button

[Eastender]

Yesterday I found the 1831 and today the 1825 and 1900 IHP. The large cents are tortured as is pretty much the case. Sometimes I think this period of coin mutilation resulted from the Panic of 1837. It was a lasting serious economic downturn and people suffered. The 1825 has been punched in the head, the 1831 has been ground flat with some sort of geometric patterns engraved on the reverse.

The key I found yesterday matches my set from this area found over the past six years. The latest one is laying across the top. (I only have two 1700s keys to date, much larger and made of iron). The mouth harp looks 1700's to me. Interesting how these pop up around contact period Native American sites, especially since I found I copper trade point a year ago not far from this piece. I like the even number IHP.

I'm not going out detecting tomorrow. It's time to take a break and watch some NFL and WNBA and rest my feet for construction work next week. But I like the area I am hunting. Seeing big forged spikes so colonial potential is high.

Tom, you know that east coast states stock colonials and LC's in the wild every spring, right? Just like trout.

Look beyond the base metal, Grasshopper. The true value in the find lies on the number stamped on the obverse. Obviously.

What do you call it when someone reacts badly to copper? A metallurgy.

I’m sorry to hear you are having to watch the WNBA. My condolences on that but what an awesome bunch of finds, congratulations!

My daughter was a five sport athlete. She's 30 now and I miss attending her games and meets. That's how I developed an interest in women's sports. I can only catch half of the WNBA game because the Bills are in town to take on the Jets. I grew up south of Buffalo.

Eastender I hope you know I was not meaning any disrespect to you or your daughter. Simply, I am always saddened to hear of anyone being subjected to those kinds of extreme circumstances when you hear about someone having to watch a WNBA game. Humanity just needs to be kinder to one another.

All joking aside, good for you for continuing to support and stay in touch with your daughter and common interests brother.

It's all good, I wasn't offended. This is the "friendly" treasure hunting site.

Last night I watched a comedy special featuring Larry The Cable Guy. He said that he had to give up watching women's volleyball on TV because it wasn't good for his carpel tunnel syndrome.

What a great hunt!

Nice hunt. I like those Large cents. Heck if it were not for them it would get pretty slim pickens in Ohio lol.
I have found over a hundred of them..

Larry also said his grandma ate some free hot dogs at the Bass Pro Shop. They went right through her and she ran into the ladies restroom.
Security guard soon followed her and accused her of trying to steal a duck call and some stink bait!

She got it done! Larry's act is so ridiculous that is funny as hell. A bit racey at times.
