Found the cool old large cent. 1832!! Yes! To bad about the hole in her head.

This Indian head is in awesome shape. This is why I love finding coins at old home sites. They are in better condition than parks and whatnot.

Here is the semi-key date V-Nickel 1886!! Cool! She is pretty
toasty though but still fun to find.

Also found the dateless buffalo and a 1914 wheatie. This next photo is of a little dodad. maybe some sorta jewelry. Has a opal looking thing in the middle of her.

Had a fun time finding this stuff. Been a while since I pulled out a large cent. Jim

I never have figured out why someone would hole a coin in the middle. Only thing I can come up with is making it into a washer or toy whizzer.Regardless of condition you have some nice finds. The little doodad is a neat piece of jewelry and appears to be gold plated. Nice finds and congratulations.

You need some of that Nic-A-Date Acid for your dateless Buffalo Nickel. Then you will find out the year on it. Sure is a great bunch of finds you found no matter the condition of them. Nice Indian as well. May your luck keep up and you post more finds with some nice silver. Good Luck and HH.

...come out brownish and sometimes green. I have had some wheaties look great outta the ground at home sites. Gotta be the Michigan soil. When I give em a bath in peroxide they turn dark like the photo shows. Jim
