Hi Folk's
Finally getting crops picked in my part of the state. The boy and I hit a field that I had pretty good luck at in the fall of 2007. Managed to find a few keepers this time around also. Found 3 seated dimes 1841,1857,1891, four Indians 1896,1890,1887,1898 and my first ever silver 3 cent piece 1853, this coin had been on my to find list. Thanks for looking.
Mike

Wow, Mike good job. See your profile says CZ3d. I was curious how the 3 center sounded to you?
It is sure on my want list too. Good luck, hope we get a few more hunts in before the big freeze.

I think I need to move to Illinois and hit some fields.  Between you and Merf, you guys find some great old coins up there. Congrats on those beauties. -MM- Hmmmm...... I'm starting to see a pattern here. Illinois + farm fields + guys with four letter names started with "M" (Mike / Merf) = OLD COINS!!!  |
