Default Here's another oldie!
Since Saturday's hunt didn't produce anything great, I figured I post an oldie and get everyone motovated to hunt in this HEAT. I don't know how you guys down south do it!! This is a 1805 Half Cent I found at an untouched site a while back. It was in excellent dry soil. They don't always come out this way. I will try and put together a personal albulm later of my better finds for everyone to see. And I promise to find better things next time out HH.

That's its value: 1/200th of a dollar.

Default Dug Coin, YES. Here's another
[QUOTE=Davest;154952]very, very nice coin. did you dig it? QUOTE] Hi, Yes it was a dug coin. Usually they are what we term "DOGMEAT" with the mineralization up here. But every once in a while, if the soil is real sandy, you get this. I have other coins from this site. Here's a 1795 Liberty Capped Large cent found about 30 feet fron the half cent. By the way, the half cent was the NEWEST coin to come from this site. HH
