Today I took one of those long drives I dread, but the site I wanted to hit was too tempting to pass up. Once there I worked the site as best as I could during the time I had available and managed to dig up four silver dimes, one Draped Bust large cent, a 2-cent piece, four Indian Head cents, a V Nickel, and a handful of wheat cents. :cheesysmile:

The dimes are dated 1892, 1916, 1942, and 1944.

This 1802 beauty makes my eleventh Draped Bust cent this year, and my 59th large cent.

This 2-cent piece is in great condition. It's my seventh 2-center this year. :smitten:

The Indian Head cents should clean up well. They are dated 1886, 1895, 1897, and 1900.

There are 23 wheat cents in the pile.

That's actually not bad for this area and for a old coin, being buried so long in the ground. We usually get them much worse lol

Thank you Aaron! :beerbuddy:

That's a nice one too. :grin: I have found several others dated 1802, but this last one is the best one yet. It held up well. :yes:

I haven't really cleaned it yet. I just gave it one hot peroxide bath to remove some of the soil for the photo. Now I'm treating it Verdi-Care to remove the verdigris, after which I'll remove the rest of the soil and apply some coin conditioner. It should look great. :smitten:
