Have made quite a few good finds over the past month or so...all at old 1700's homesites, early 1900's houses, and some foundataions in the woods.

2 Buffalo Nickels (1919, ????)
1813 Canada Half Penny Token...Reads "Trade and Navigation" on front and "Pure Copper Preferable to Paper Money" on back
1925 Stone Mountain Silver Half- Commemorative for the carving of Lee and Jackson on a cliff
2 IH's (1864, 18??)
1940 Canada Silver Quarter
3 Mercs (1941, 1920, 1929)
1875 CC Seated Dime
1798 Large Cent (in a lot better condition than the picture shows)

Also found this silver object, I think it's the end of some serving dish, maybe a gravy boat? Opinions welcome.

Most were found in the yards of houses that are from the late 1700's. I've gone over the property wher I found the seated and large cent quite a few times, and I keep pulling this stuff from area i've been over at least 3 times. Just goes to show it never hurts to keep hitting hot areas. I would say that nothing was deeper than 5 inches.
 

Impressive! Great looking coins! :icon_thumright:
