Default Colonial home*3 large coppers!
GOT TO THE COLONIAL HOME AT 9 AM GRASS WAS THICK AS HECK AND HIGH ALOT OF TROUBLE SWINGING BUT WORKED IT FOR ALL IT WAS WORTH.FOUND A 1888 INDIAN HEAD AND A 1943-P SILVER WAR NICKEL.THE NEIGHBOR STOPPED OVER AND ASKED IF I FOUND ANYTHING.I SHOWED HIM MY MEAGER FINDS AND HE SAID YA CAN DO MY YARD.I'M GOING BOTTLE DIGGING BE BACK LATER.SO OFF I SHOT TO HIS COLONIAL YARD.FIRST SIGNAL WAS A FATTY INDIAN HEAD 1861 THEN I PULLED THIS LEAD TOKEN OR SEAL? LOOKS LIKE IT WAS SHOT WITH A BULLET IN THE CENTER.HAS A SHIP WITH MASTS IN THE CENTER AND WORDS AROUND THE EDGE.ANYONE HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT THIS WAS? READS JOHN & JER MAYLOR WAKEFIELD I THINK?
A LOT OF CLAD ALONG THE WAY AND 3 LARGE COPPERS CAME OUT OF THE YARD.ONE I KNEW WAS A US LARGE CENT.HAD NO CLUE WHAT 2 THE OTHER 2 WERE UNTIL I GOT HOME.
I BELEIVE ONE IS A CONNECTICUT or A VERMONT COPPER.OBVERSE IS REAL WEAK AND CAN'T MAKE OUT MUCH.A 1801 DRAPED BUST LARGE CENT AND A 1837 MATRON HEAD LARGE CENT.A REAL GOOD DAY AND SO GLAD THAT NEIGHBOR INVITED ME OVER!
GOING CELLAR HOLE HUNTING WITH FORINO TOMORROW!
HAPPY HUNTING EVERYONE!
DAVE

Thumbs up Woohoo!!!!!
Been racking my brain trying to figure out how to disqualify those coppers
I guess they will have to stand Nice job, and congrats on a Virgin site. It should produce lots more for you. You better hope Del didn't find 3 too Looks like a Conn copper, nice Draped Bust and the old Matron Head. Great hunt and you're turning up the pressure

I'd dig junk all day to find one of those. 1870 is about as far back as this city goes.

Dave,

What a super day you had! You hit the jackpot when the neighbour invited you to hunt his property! Did you show him anything you found at his home?

I'm dreaming of the day I have a hunt like that! All I can say is WOW!

I don't know if it's any help, but there is a Wakefield in Yorkshire, England. I hope you manage to find out about the token.

How nice of those neighbors, huh?!

Is that a halfpenny I see there? Two large cents and a halfpenny? Can you gt any lettering off that?

Congratulations on the digs. Some cool history you've got there.
