The Scraps that Ironhorse Left Behind

I took an hour this morning to do a quick once over of the site Ironhorse and I hit this week.  At least I know that we didn't clean the field out.  I was pleased with the condition but I wish the age was a little better although I am happy with the 1859 Canada LC.

Have you cleaned it up yet? Maybe one of those doublepunch 9 variations?

Your 1859 is in very nice shape, it has a nice patena to it. Kinda makes you wonder how it was missed last time out, those coins give a nice loud signal.

Some really cool finds!

It was actually missed the last 10 times out...miss by an inch, miss by a mile!

It's in the HP now...

nice finds

when we finished off the other day, we both had an Indian head cent within 30 seconds of each other, plus there was truly lots of targets left on that little patch. you got lots of hunts left in that field buddy!

even some century old finds have a history and relevance to our activity, plus you might score a stray from the original site on the hill, you're usually lucky enough to find it, maybe I'll have to show it to you when I dig it up, either way, still, a great place to detect,,!

The LC is in really fine shape, the field has some kind soil to it that's for sure.

The little patch is where the wheatie and small cent came from.  The LC and buttons were on the original site on the hill and the musketballs came from near the barn/house...yep, lot's of hunting yet!

Very sandy soil...and no fertilizer with the exception of the odd cow or horse plop!

Nice finds Romeo. That copper is a beauty...

It seems that many old copper coming out of sandy soil retain a pretty good condition.

There was a previous post I remember reading, sandy soil... somewhere in the Carolinas, and his coin was in great shape too.  HH!

Nice finds Romeo ...... congrats! 

Hour hunt ,you did very well !  1859 looks sharp

Isn't that the truth!

Great score.

Some nice finds 
That CLC is a real looker
Think the Canadian copper was a better grade or something 
Find a Canadian cent here and it looks great,wheat cent in hole with it,toast...

Good job!

That just makes it easier to dig them out.
