Couple of Drapes et al.

I had to be in Maine this weekend and was able to get out to some cellar holes. I found the largest cellar hole I ever saw....with a barn to match. I was wondering why it was so large and why I was finding so many cool relics but only one coin (1900 Indian head). I later found out it was a poor house, or town farm. 8/ I wish I took a picture of the remains of a buggy still parked within the barn hole. I got home last night and today was able to pick up the draped twins a half mile from my house. :rolleyes: Thanks for looking, Drew

Were they separate finds? Or was it a 1802 coin spill? :drool: :->

Thanks guys, they must have been from the same drop but they were five feet apart...at five inches. About 30 feet from the hole.
I went back yesterday and dug a pre civil war merchant's token |:cheering:
 
Looks like you found a nice place a little closer to home than Maine.

Ironically, I thought of you the other day. I got out with Scott to a new place that showed a lot of potential....and did not deliver. I pulled plenty of ox shoes though....

Nice job on the draped cents, keep swinging!

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't witnessed it. Maybe this oxshoe super hero will come out of the shadows and be recognized for the biggest bovine booty bonanza ever dug. Moooooooo!!
 
:omg: That's enough to get the blood pumping. Like Dan said, you don't see a lot of 1802's out there. Their both in at least Fine Condition also . Cant wait to get there now that my health has improved . I got two perfect spots just waiting for me too.
:congrats: Again and hope to see more of you finds before the ground freezes, that's for us up North. :crying02:
