I went out today and froze my butt off in the process. The ground is starting to freeze so unless we have some warmer weather anytime soon I think this may have finally be my last hunt of the year. On Sunday I went to a very old one room school house and found the 1910 Wheat and 1907 IH. I added a picture of the two coins cleaned up and have to say the wheat is in the best condition of any wheat i have found when it comes to lack of corrosion. You can actually still see the glint of original finish to the coin. Today I went back to the school house where I found the merc and silver ring and ended up with a 1945d Wheat and a 1891 IH. I added pics of some of the other stuff I dug including all the shotgun shell heads. I found an old glass bottle top that had a root growing through it as I was digging the harmonica reed.

The 1891 I found today was at 7 inches and the 1907 was at around 4 inches. Usually I don't find many IH either but this year has been really good to me.
Sorry about the frozen ground Steve, but you made some great finds!!

Those were truly some nice finds. Most of the coins are in great shape. Maybe you will have some mild weather that will allow for more hunting. If not, you sure will have a good hunting place in the spring.

Nice finds Steve!
Those one room schools don't usually give up many nice finds around here. Looks like you found a couple of good ones.
