Went back to the field site I found next to my inlaws house. I found some indians and a shield nickel on Christmas day and couldnt wait to get back. It did not disappoint. Found the smooth 1842 dime right away followed by another shield nickel. Ended up with 6 indians as well. I eventually got a quarter signal and sure enough out popped the 1854 quarter. Only my third Seated quarter ever. Not thinking it could get any better, I got a really low tone on my Deus that turned out to be my first ever 3 cent nickel:headbang::hello2:

What a nice variety of old coins. Any ideal what the field was used for? Congrats.

No idea. The amount of coins and the lack of household type items and the lack of really anything besides coins tells me its not a homesite but maybe some type of commercial establishment
 

Well done, congrats
 

Nice finds toasted!

Maybe some kind of a social event was held there? Tent revivals, county fairs/carnivals, civil war reunions, barn dances or a spot for romantic rendezvous! Whatever tips your pants! LOL

Best wishes!
 

Sweet!

Nicely done, and all the best,

Lanny

Thanks. It would be nice to figure out what went on out there. Its kinda in the middle of nowhere with no structures in the area on my old maps but whatever it was Im just glad they were losing all these sweet coins
 

WOW!!! What a place! Thats the stuff dreams are made of! Congratulations!!!
 

Wow amazing finds I want to hun t with you some day lol. Well done
 

Looks like you really did have 2018 go out on a high note. Those are some really nice finds especially that 3 cent nickel. They are really hard to find.
