Hey gang, as promised, here's an assortment of the group-of-hunter's finds from the place where I got cob about a week ago.
The place was an old-town turfed park, that was being bulldozed around by tractors for a recent renovation project. The project is finished now. All told, there were 6 hunters in on the action, over various treks in there.
Some of the notable finds made by the various hunters:
A) two large cents surfaced (not an easy feat for CA ! )
B) The cob (ID'd as being likely Peru, which can make it date to as recent as 1773)
C) An 1849 Mexican reale
D) seateds dating back to the 1830s & '40s
E) a near mint 1914 s barber half (albeit with some ground-kiss on it)
F) a female end of a gold rush, square-style, tongue & wreath buckle
G) A silver 3c piece (yeah, yeah, common on the east coast. But hard in CA )
H) A 1909s Lincoln (no VDB durnit)
I) Miscellaneous foreign coins from the mid to late 1800s
