Down Cellar

 Here's a few things I found while out hunting with HEAVYMETALNUT...1800 Draped Bust Large Cent...1902 IH...Buttons...Buckle..Some kind of pin and hair clip. Alot of other odds N' ends not pictured. Thanks for looking.

killer finds!!!!!!!!!!!!  MR TUFF

  You had a great day too. Sure is great diggin that kinda stuff! 

Awesome finds.  I've found that many flat buttons in one day, but never so many with the shank/loop intact.  Usually they're bent or missing.  That Large Cent is nice.  My oldest is 1827.  I want to dig one from 1800 or before.

Congrats on a good hunt!

yup some great finds there sniff! we did pretty good yesterday! hopefully again soon!

Outstanding finds, Congratulations.. 

can you post a closer pics (obverse & reverse) with more light of the 1800 LC? thanks

Nice overall hunt, Sniffy.  Those large buttons always get my heart beating faster.  They are the same size as GW inaugurals.

yeah, every time I dig a "dandy" at first sight I think it's a large cent....But still equally excited.

Here's some closer shots of the Draped Bust.  Variety?

That large cent rocks!!!!!  Still waiting for my first.  I'm pretty sure it is only one of a few goals that I won't hit this year.  Maybe next year though!

wtg on those nice looking finds !!!

Sweet finds sniffy!! WTG

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully I"ll have more to post soon.

I copied the photos and increased the brightness on them. It appears that your coin is a 1800/79 overdate and the best I can tell it seems to be a Sheldon-196 variety.

This variety is listed as 'very common' but ain't none of 'em common when you're trying to find them, huh?

Nice grab!

very nice finds, love that 1800 LC and the dandy buttons   

One of my favorite finds is a dandy button that was down nearly 10 inches beneath some tree roots.

  Ok, I'll try to take a better pic and lighten it up a bit more.

nice hunt!!

The Draped Bust is very nice, great finds.

Great finds Sniffy! 

Nice copper, good hunt it was.

Here's some better pics of the Draped Bust. It's def. an overlay.

awesome finds nice job

Excellent 1800/79.  I agree that it looks like S-196.

And a it's a beautiful coin.   

It's an 1800/99 not 1800/79.

And a it's a beautiful coin.   

Thanks Buckleboy, I am very excited about this Draped Bust coin with overlaid date!

Very sweet , WTg

Not bad at all.

nice finds ---you had a great day !!!!!!!!!!

That DB LC is sweet. I don't know of anyone who has ever dug one in my area.

I've never seen anyone dig one either, somehow this one ended up under my coil.  A Vermont Copper was pulled from the same site, same day. 2 elusive coins plucked from a nook up in New England.

It's an 1800/99 not 1800/79.

And a it's a beautiful coin.  

That's exactly what I thought but wanted better pics before I said anything! but I can't find a 1800/99 to compare...

1800/99? I can't find any info on this.

Sorry Sniffy but to my knowledge there is no 1800/99. The 8 is over 7 and the first 0 is over 9...that makes it an 1800/79, the best I can tell. There is a variety that is 1800/1798 but I can not make out an 8 beneath the last 0.

The cropped image below is from a current eBay auction for this same overdate. Compare it to yours.

1800 79/80 for sure.   I plucked one from the ground a few weeks ago too!     Very nice Large Cent!

Very nice finds Sniffy. The LC is killer ! I also like the buttons.I have some similar that I put through Electralisis that came out pretty sweet....you might want to do yours.

Awesome, I was so excited when I cleaned it and found that it was an overlay. Can't wait to get back out and find more like it. I really want another state copper.

I've never tried Electrolisis on anything, I have several relics that would make good candidates. How do I go about making a homemade electrolisis kit?

I use a battery charger. Pretty easy to do....but be carefull not to breath the fumes and try not to curl your hair with it.    http://www.rowand.net/Shop/Tools/Electrolysis.htm

Well, now that you've posted a better photo, you can tell that coin was minted on a cold morning.

Lady Liberty is breathing out frosty air

Awesome! I can't wait to experiment with this! I have a quite a few relics that will prolly clean up well. Hey BTW, do you use electrolysis on coins to?

Some people may advise you to use it on coins but electrolysis get the coin either to clean or ruins them..

yeah it's def something I would try on IH's first. I would be afraid to throw a big Copper in the zapper.
