Managed to find an 1867 2 Cent piece! And promptly lost it! Yeah, I laid it to the side to see if there were anymore goodies and when I turned back - IT WAS GONE! I bet I have since spent close to 30 hours trying to find that darn coin again! All I can think of, it is standing upright on its edge laughing at me.....
But yesterday went better, about 50 Wheaties with most dates in the 1909 to 1922 range. All of the pennies were heavily worn - so I am thinking that this was a roll that either was lost or buried in the late 1940's or 1950's. Why a roll? Well, the 1909 still has its MINT LUSTER! So it has to be protected somehow! Of course all of them are pitted and corroded.
In a separate two hunts I found a penny each.
Last night's hunt yielded four Eisenhower dollars and five Susan B's!
Late Breaking News!
Seven copper Lincolns and a gold cat brooch tonight! The brooch is 2.5 inches across! So the picture is about lifesize on my monitor....
My FIRST piece of jewelry!
