Beautiful coins and photos Tundra!A few more from today and yesterday
I was lucky enough to dig #4 fty yesterday. It had some black crust on it, and signaled 18-20(nox), so I assumed it was just another six inch deep zincoln when I dug it from a trashy curbstrip. During cleanup, I saw the wreath, and had to think back to figure where it came from. Turns out to be 1864! My only 1800s coin this year...that I can ID, that is. There were 3 varieties of IH's that year, and this is the more common, less valuable bronze one, but a great find for me! I brass-brushed some patina off the wheatie, but I don't do that with IH's.
