I live in Minnesota and to find a coin that dates before the Civil War is exciting. Maybe for all you guys who live out east, this may not seem so special. I would love to find the coins you all find, but this made me happy.
I was detecting on an old farm site and a few minutes in I got this 1860 Fatty. Sadley, I clipped it with my blade. Found out from the land owner that the farm was homesteaded by a Civil War vet who spent most of the war in Andesonville. That story just makes this coin more interesting for me. Thanks for reading.
