A close up of some recent finds. I found the 1831 King William IV British half penny this evening on a very old school house spot. Only 805,000 of these half penny’s were made.

Got out in the sunshine today to rehit a close-by field permission. Worked a little driveway that I’ve always tended to avoid and scored a very nice 1873 Indian head cent. Also found a civil war store card token and an 1863 “fatty” Indian head cent as well.
