Hey everyone.This coin was found around the first of september.I had read allmost all of your post for a good while.You all had such great finds and I hardly broke the 40's.I was thinking where I lived I could never find such good coins as I have seen on here. And of course I may never find as great as some. But when I dug this up I could hardly believe my eyes.Not in the best of shape but I doubt I would ever part with it.I was so excited i didn't put it in my coin case but I hid it in a envelope in my glovebox. I found out this home was built in the 1850's.And must have had moonshiners ( I dug up 20 mason tops)The growth around the house made it very hard to hunt. But I plan on going back when it dies some.It was the first coin I found breaking the 1900's.Thanks for looking Wolfbite

Nice job, Wolf.

I don't see too many of those coming from North Carolinia.......They're mostly found in the Northeastern states. :o

Congratulations! :)
 

Congratulations on an excellent find. Nate and I have found plenty of 1800's coins but not a single large cent yet. Your's is in good condition too. ;D ;D ;D

Thats exactly what i felt.I had started to move my hunts closer to Winston Salem.But have been researching old wagon roads.Theres very few maps in this area.But i really like old farm houses.
And when people tell me the homes were built in the 1800's i hit the path.Thank you Wolfbite
