Finally found something old!!

Trejo · Apr 8, 2018

As a person new to the east coast I don’t know many people with land. Everyone rents and the apartments look down on digging their landscaping. After digging another disappointing schoolyard I randomly run into the nicest guy. He mentioned him and his wife just bought a metal detector and asked if I wanted to hunt his land. After a few short hours I found the oldest and coolest things I’ve ever found! Thanks John!

I found a button with the shank.
I believe the large cent is a draped bust large cent.
Also, the lead bag seal? I’m trying to do some research on them. Let me know if you know any more about them!

Nice finds! I like that bag seal - found one of those a few months ago...

I really like the detail on the bag seal. I have never found one myself but I think that makes a very nice find.

Now you're bitten, sounds like a good location, hope you can hit it again, I'm sure there are more goodies where those came from. Congrats
