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!

Outstanding coin! Around here, copper doesn't hold up that well after 60 years, much less 200 years!

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!!

Nice going!

I'm sure you've checked up on the book already, but if not then this might be of interest:

WOW!! Thanks PBK! I have had antique shops offer me $30 for it, but I wasnt expecting that much. Good thing I didnt sell it. HH!
