More large Coppers and Buttons

[Merf]

Greetings friends---Hope I am not getting annoying with all these posts lately.
For the last two afternoons I returned to that hot spot in the cornfield and found these.
The Rough LC is 1835 I think.
The Artillery button is early 1800s---I have not been able to find a pic of one exactly like it on line.
The small Eagle button has no shank---It is the smallest Eagle I have found.
The 1852 LC is the best condition of any I have found. It won't need the tumbler.
It cleaned up pretty well with some Ultra Brite toothpaste.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all. Merf

NO way! I never get annoyed with seeing peoples great finds. I have never hunted a cornfield maybe I should
start. I know farms are usualy generations old and you can probably hunt the same fields for months and months due to the size. Congrats on a great location and great finds. I found my only large cent in a public park but I think Ill starting aking around and find some farms to hunt!

Thanks Damien-------Get some old maps and find the locations where farm houses used to be but are just fields now and I am sure you will make some good finds.



Thanks Diggincoinz, Plehbah, Jimmy, Jerry, Neil, and Gregory.
I have had a streak of good luck.

Thanks Grog----The spot I am hunting in the field is shown as where a house was on an 1870 map.
The road is no longer there----Prolly was just a dirt road.


Thanks Lonewolfe
