Found My First Half Cent!!!

[FoxHound0985]

Hi there everyone, I had the chance to hit an older site on Sunday in Memphis, Indiana. I was working the site for a few hours finding only a few things of interest. When I was just about to give up when I got a really strong signal, and out popped this 1806 Half Cent!! It wasnt until later that I realized that it was an 1806. At first I thought it was 1805. The date is ironic because I am a Lewis and Clark reenactor, and 1806 was the year that they returned from their Westward Journey. Let me know what you think. Thanks and HH!

That is an awesome find.
What else have you found at that site? That might be a hot site you have...
How deep was that coin? And lastly, don't you have snow in Indiana??

Good luck.

Hi there Mirage, the coin was about 6 inches down. This is the only good thing that I have found at the site, because that was the first chance I've had to hit it. I'm not sure if this would count as a find from the site, but there is an old barn next to it that I found an old book in. The book was called "The History of the American Revolution" by David Ramsay. It's the original first edition too! 1789!!!

We have had a few snow dustings here, but nothing that has actually stayed. The snow usually doesnt stop me from MDing unless its too deep

HH!

[JakePhelps]

any pics of the book? that is amazing something that old could still be in there and not rotted away

 

[ZumbroKid]

You got a nice old coin there.

 

[FoxHound0985]

Hi there Jake, I will post pice of the book as soon as my fiance gets home. I took the book to an antique shop to get it appraised and I accidently left it in her car. HH!
