UNBELIEVABLE FIND LOOK AT THE 1795 FLOWING HAIR HALF!!!

BIG congrats on makeing the Banner outraged ! fantastic find  ;)

Fantabulous

Nice, Very nice

I've never broken the 1900 mark...I'm 41 and have been detecting since I got my first detector, which I had to BEG for, when I was in 4th grade for my birthday in 1973....It was from Sears and now that I think about it, I wish I knew where it was...I'll ask my mom. That's a find of a lifetime my friend....Keep at it and good luck....

Thanks again guys for the comments...I thought I would post a pic of the corner where I shat myself...

Mrs. Outraged took some nice historical pics.

...PS - outraged, check out the pic of the rev. of a flowing hair that's being sold on ebay for around $2000. I'm looking at the "A" on STATES on your coin, and I think yours may be of this variety.  Easily recognizable as O-113 (R.3) as the word STETES was originally cut in error then recut as STATES; the serifs of the E are plainly visible behind the A.

I just saw this post from Captn_SE.  Is this true?!?!  I can't tell from the pic, but if it's true, it's time to get it professionally cleaned, graded and slabbed, no matter how beat up it is...and forget about the dancehall in Castleton.  You gotta show me this field!

Wow!   Just crazy.  The NJ copper is great too but the flowing hair half is just a little better. ;)

You and old Grube are stealing the show here on TNET.  You guys are in your own league.

It's very encouraging to see that these sites are out there - even if they are in NY.  This is what keeps me motivated....that sense of the next site being a great one.  All you need is one good site and it will produce for many many hunts.

So did you pick a random farm field, or is there some history behind it?  I want to go out today and find one, as I live in Kentucky and there are PLENTY around me. Please let me know AND GREAT FIND on the 1795 really makes me wanna get out!!

Well, what can you say Outraged. How many of those do you see posted here? Thats one in a million find! What is the history on the field? What made you want to hunt there? Again, congrats on one he-- of a find! HH

We found this field from old maps that show 2 homes on it. The field is 19 acres. I guess from what I can tell there used to be a road running right through the middle of the field. Keep in mind this is not a fresh site. We have been hammering this site for 4 or so years. It has produced over 200 coins including 8 spanish silvers and my 1795...Also if memory serves me right a few mercs...It just goes to show you....Every year hit those old sites....You never know what the frost has turned up. I hit this site early this year and found 8 large pennies. The interesting part is this field has not been tilled since we hunted it the first time. It is slated to be tilled in september according to the farmer. I can assure you I will be on vacation that week....I will hunt by moonlight if I have to....Thanks guys for all your replies....You guys make a great experience even greater!!!

Well I can't think of much else to add that hasn't already been said..but a find like this deserves a small tribute..

Outraged found a flowing hair,  he really did no jive
A big fat silver slab of coin,  a seventeen ninety five,

He waited months for them to mow, then hunted like a pro,
It rang up as an 89, which must be good you know,
 
It seemed to be 5 inches down, but that was not the case,
If any closer to the top, she could slap him in the face.

He thought at first a dollar,  but looking closer he made out,
It was "only"  half a dollar,  a rare find still no doubt ,

But with all his care, it seemed to him , he still did cause a nick,
And the thought that he did do this, really made him sick,

Well if  he did, it’s over now, a great find none the less,
And even with the damage, his pants he still did  mess,

It made the banner where it belongs, almost as good as it can get,
But in awhile I’m sure we’ll see, in the best of Treasure Net,

Outraged found a flowing hair, as pretty as can be,
Congrats to him and all the best, just wish that it was me.

Copper...That is great...You made me laugh my a$$ off....You have talent!!! Thanks for the best comment that has been left!!!

Mine aren't good comments?

Mine aren't good comments?

Yours are great also...sorry DUDE

Outstanding!!!  I would be happier with what you found than finding several common date gold coins.  I don't think they even have a club for flowing hair bust!   Maybe you can start one.  Congrats again.

Oh, I forgot, you swing one of the best detectors on the market: WHITE'S!

I dont never think I ever saw no one who swung a Minelab find a wilver Flowing! NO WAY!

*Just pulling your strings Minelabers!

Yeah, you may have found two with a Minelab!!!



Who cares if you scratched it, nice coin!!!

WOW... freaking... WOW!! 1/2".. that's just not right!!! ;-)

You ARE keeping that??? right???

Great digging!!!!!

I planned on keeping it....However I guess for the right price anything is for sale...Besides....There is more where that came from...  

I hope you don't sell her. $500 is not much...considering that she will be the only one you will find.

Make us proud...keep her! ;)

Awesome find, outraged!

Congrats on the banner!

Don't sweat the damage, it's still a sweet coin!

Thanks for sharing.

Don't blame yourself for the scratches..she's still a beautiful lady.  Congratulations!

Beautiful find....awesome.  I grew up about 120 miles from you (now I live in Phoenix), so your find makes me want to come back and hit every field I know about....

Good luck and find some more!

This is my first post and this sure gives me something to look forward to in the future........Absolutely gorgeous!  Congratulations

Just where is this East Greenbush place anyway???    Great find man!! Got my shirt last week too. Also awesome!!

Have you lived here all your life? PM me sometime, I've got some spots around the "manor" that might peak your interest. I spend most of my time diving and fishing these days.

Again, very nice find!!!

I grew up in Chatham. However I have lived in the "Bush" for 4 years now. This coin was found in Columbia County though. Let me know...I found a cannon in the Manor once...

This deserves to be on top of da forum again. I don't know of no one else who digged this coin. Good job, brotha!

Oh, I forgot, you swing one of the best detectors on the market: WHITE'S!

I dont never think I ever saw no one who swung a Minelab find a wilver Flowing! NO WAY!

*Just pulling your strings Minelabers!

If he had been using a Minelab, he would have found the Dollar coin lying next to the half, only several inches deeper.
Congrats on the totally awesome find!

It is funny you say that..The guy I have been hunting with is a Minelab,Garrett,Tesoro,and Fisher dealer. He has used all the top machines in this field....The Fisher is so unstable it is unuseable...The tesoro does ok but my whites thumped him 3-1 for finds that day. The next day he used his Explorer-SE and he did find a few DEEP coins...However he is so much slower working with that machine I thumped him worse than I did when he was using the tesoro. They all seem like good machines...However it is a field so nothing is really deep. Or if they are they are so deep no machine will reach em. I would take my XLT over any other machine in this location. Hands down.

Amen!

I knew I was going to get myself into trouble when I posted my message, especially after I noticed that almost everyone on this forum uses whites. But that's ok because I've got my Sovereign GT on it's way, which gives me something to look forward to and that is, making Minelab users out of all of you. HAHAHAHAHAHA!   Just kidding, I know that what works best for someone is what they feel most comfortable with.
HH and I'm looking forward to making some great finds and posts of my own, hopefully.

I am not bothered by your comments..I am buying a Explorer SE next week. I want to have the best of both worlds...

That's cool, I was thinking about going with the Explorer but chose the Sovereign because I've had a Sov. XS an an XS2a and felt pretty comfortable with them and couldn't see spending the extra money for a display that I really didn't need.
HH

I'm thinking, send it to NCS, baby, YEAH!

HI NICK,
  I JUST DON`T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. A FIND OF A LIFE TIME. YOU MADE THE BANNER DUDE.........I LIVE IN PA. ALSO, NOW I WILL BE BEGGING FOR MY FIELDS TO PRODUCE SUCH A SPECIMEN LIKE YOURS...........I`M HAPPY FOR YOU..............PACO

Paco, right on, bud!  A find like that would put us in an early grave.

Um, dude, you got the wrong dude. But we can dream.

Awesome find! Congratulations

once again awesome

Very nice.....How much would that coin be worth today?
Also what are the chances of finding a coin like that around the Lake Erie area?

Wow !!!  Way over the top find. It must have rattled your head to see that pop out. I;d say it looks like your digger smoked the edge like you figured. Don;t worry about hitting it we all do it sooner or later.I;ve knicked a few real old coins over the years and it always makes me feel like barfin' every time I look at them lol. One of the guys I started digging with 5 years ago smoked a mint condition Canadian 1914 fifty cent piece which is rare . It was under a root and he got a little too rambuctious and put a giant slash right across it. I;ll never forget the look on his face when he saw the mark and his brother commented that his coin just a worthless keepsake now lol.HH....Panz

 I'm gonna pass out!!!!! Put that under your pillow every night and sleep with it. Hold it! Hug it! Kissit!
Absolutely Awesome Find outraged. I am very happy for you!
