For the nation-wide md'ing forums like FMDF, I usually only do show & tell finds when it's something spectacular. Eg.: gold coin, or something numismatically dazzling, etc..... But seeing all these great east coast colonials, busts, LC's, etc.... lately here, has been giving me fits. So ... for what it's worth, here's the results of a trip that a buddy and I made to Nevada over the 4th of July weekend.
We hit a variety of ghost towns, RR spur sidings (where little burgs sometimes sprouted up to serve the Rail-to-mine freight transfers), stage stops, spring locations, etc.... A hodge podge of multiple different sites. Some obviously pounded to heck. And others with a little faster action.
Lots of great period targets that we love, for history sakes alone. As for coins, only 2 seated dimes. Neither of which was spectacular dates/mint. And I probably didn't help matters any when I got impatient with trying to remove black crud, and probably over-cleaned them. Doh !
