As many of the reeds I (and I'm sure all of you) find, it was a pleasant surprise to find a whole one today...all of 10 to 12 inches down. Yes, it's falling apart. Yes, it won't survive cleaning I'm sure. But I've never found a whole harmonica!

First two holes were a Jefferson nickel and a ball of foil. Third hole was a shiny 1939 quarter. That was given to the land owner as a thank you.

Several other nice finds in the yard too. My third ever large cent isn't pretty, but I can see her.. Looks to me like a "Matron", what with the weird chin and all.

Gonna try to get out tomorrow again. 18 degrees tomorrow night, so the freeze isn't far away...… (albeit very late this year).

Right, the harmonica is a nice find and all, but the star of that show is the 1875 Seated Dime!

Fantastic hunt.
 
Wow nice hunt!

The seated is definitely the star but the harmonica is pretty unusual. I bet not many survive intact.
 
Just an awesome mixed hunt T. Congrats on the shiny, LC, Ihp and all the other fantastic finds. I love the FOE token. I dug a large reed today, I think maybe an accordion reed. Hope you can get out a few more time before the freeze sets in. Good luck Mark
