3rd day at my new cellar yields some first time killer finds...

johnnyblaze · Sep 11, 2011

Headed out late today around 1 for a hike to my new cellar..

Man the woods were a mess from hurricane Irene

What a challenge its gonna be hunting these cellars now...Not good for the lazy ones alot of branch moving :laughing7:

Started off with an insane colonial buckle frame i think is a womans..

Then i got what looks to be a Virginia halfpenny that was counterfeited into a large cent sort of.. :icon_scratch:

It has the man on the front but it has kind of a draped bust wreath and it says one cent backwards :laughing9:

I dont know man its a strange one :laughing7:

Then i grabbed the poor old farmers silver pocket spill and shield nickle..

The half dime is an 1859 o and my first ever :hello2:

Then the seated liberty dime 1875..

1798 Draped bust large cent :headbang:

Cool little button

A 1600's stirrup buckle.

Man i had a good day out there and was only there less than 3 hours

When the vegetation clears im gonna pound it to death :evil6:

Wow!!! Those are some awesome cellars you got there!!! :notworthy:

I've never seen a copper converted into a large cent, definitely a strange one there. All in all, those are some great finds and I'm waiting for you to show us more... :headbang:

Congrats on all those goodies!! Yeah definitely go back and pound that place to dust wen the veg dies down! :thumbsup:

Unfortunately though I think your 1775 seated dime is a counterfeit because I can find it anywhere in the red book.... :tongue3:

Great finds Blaze :icon_thumleft:

, could the buckle be from a mans shoe?, it seems right for 1700's, shape and all. Having said that, maybe for a womans hair piece. I'll have a look in my books :thumbsup:

I would say you had a great day! You found a Woods Hibernia copper. :headbang:

Wow, what a site! You must pound that cellar hole in all-metal mode and not let a beep get by your sweep.

Very interesting find. It is a Woods Hibernia and I added a pic showing the harp... but it could have been a Rosa Americana. (same or at least very similar bust/legends). What happened was for some reason an early one cent was struck into it. Pretty cool.

If only the One Cent had been correct and no Hibernia reverse you would definitely be collecting a nice check for it. But even so, that is very cool.

dfx willy · Sep 12, 2011

wow! that was a cool hunt for sure. hope to here more about that one coin. look at the bust of my avatar its a 1723 woods hibernia. does it look the same? that was one great hunt ya had. willy

steelheadwill · Sep 12, 2011

Congrats on finding what very few ever come across,
A rich Virgin Site ( with a large date range of items) SUPERB :thumbsup:
