I managed to get out for a bit over the weekend to a couple places. Options are very limited this time of year. The first place gave up a couple coins – a nice 1909 wheat penny, and a V nickel that looks like 1901 in the picture but 1891 in your hand, and a lead plate that apparently once belonged to a man (or woman) named R. B. Cooper. This place has given up buttons and coins from the mid-1800s when a hotel stood on the property and from the early 1900s when people would drive up from the city to picnic. However, I think I have about cleaned it out now. The second place was an old house that I hit periodically. I have found a couple Draped Bust large cents, a couple two cent pieces, and quite a few Indian Heads here, along with a few buttons including a couple tombacs. The place could go back as far as the late 1700s.
Hmmm....D. B. Cooper??
Upon further review.... R. B. Cooper

In the silver era, but silver was not to be had

Nothing like seeing a big SILVERY tombac button in the hole to get your blood pumping!

At the end of the day not much, but nice to get out, especially this time of year. HH to all that brave the heat!
