Found yesterday acttually! It got too late to take any pics, and I keep forgetting to take my camera out with me to take pics of recoveries =(. The first coin was the Morgan (1888) and I dropped my digging tool out of shock! lol The next one was the big bronze World's Fair coin, at first I thought it was another dollar, but it was really much cooler! after that there was a few indians (1883 & 1880?), and both kinda toasted, then the English penny (1861) and an 1898 barber dime, also toasted. I found them all in about an 18inch area right next to a LARGE peice of burnt wood laying against a stone foundation. It was really cool to find more that one coin in one spot, I usually am lucky to find more than one old coin in a day! LOL! I also found a few bullets that looked pretty old, the larger one I think is a 36 cal possibly from a colt pistol? The others I have no clue about. Then there is the turquois pin thingy, I dont know if its real turquois or not but it does say "sterling" on the back, so that is cool! The weird sheild thingy im posting in the whatsit. Thanks for looking!!!

Nice "Silver Dollar" , still on my list of to find items! The Expo "Fund dollar" medals were issued by states to raise funds before the exposition occurred. Apparently states sold them for one dollar. See So-Called Dollar
