Rough but identifiable

[PlzBSeated]

Road finds, so definitely rough. The shield nickel is an 1874...a more desirable date. The fatty is 1862.



Most interesting piece was this one. I'm calling it a tag though it's missing the obligatory hole. Appears to say "Stuttz", "5". The reverse simply has a 5.

Today's finds...

1862 Indian Head Penny
1874 Shield Nickel
Tag, "Stuttz", "5".

Congrats on the 1874! I didn't get one in the Decatur dig. I did get FOUR 1870s and an 1873. I got an 1862 fatty in a house yard a couple of months ago. The only other 1862 IHP I got was in the Decatur dig. That also is a tough date.

We will have to get together sometime, maybe for a field hunt. Ever heard of Ramptown here in Cass County? I have permission from the landowner to hunt that field.

I managed to get the 1880 shield several years ago, and in the same general location as this '74.

Have not heard of Ramptown. A hunt of any of those ghosted towns would be great.

Sure, I field hunt sometime sounds like fun!

I’m just a couple hour drive from MI, would love to join on you on a hunt! I have 1000s of acres of permission if you would want to come to Ohio when the crops are off!

I'm at least an hour and a half from OH. That could be a hike. But could possibly do it.

Great to find a shield with any detail. The tag could be a primitively manufactured token?

Finally took time to clean up the tag. So impressed with the results, I decided to share. I've been told it may be a picker's tag.
