The weather today was too nice to pass up, sunny and a comfortably warm 48 degrees.

I rescued this poor girl, 1837 that has seen some miles.

This is why I'd rather dig an indian head at this site than silver, the patina can be awesome. I found this and the 1882 in the same hole a few feet from the large cent.

I have to admit, I was having silver withdrawal symtoms the last two days so this gave me a quick fix.

Here's my only other decent find from yesterday, a cuff button after some button mojo (aluminum jelly and cotton swab)

Finally the heartbreaker ruby. :D

Wow...what a dig! That 1888 IH looks like it was dropped this morning!
 

Merry Christmas! That large cent has been through the wringer, but look at the LIBERTY; still a nice find. And the Indians? Nice!
 

Beautiful finds!! The what's it? Looks like a door knocker to me...pray it's not a handle from a casket.
