Todays Farm Finds

Great day to be detecting. Upstate NY, no snow yet and 54 degrees today! <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> These items are all from an old farm area. Found another Large Cent 1822 (and now my oldest coin), three Clad quarters and the one Lincoln Cent. Also found the piece of silver fork and some type of small compact-Rouge. Front says "House of Westmore Inc" and back "Made in USA" "Pepper Red". There is a hinge on side to open it (haven't tried to open yet) <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> ,and next item is a Coin dated 1871 and I can see it has some stars going around outside of it. This coin read Nickle on E-II & was bent, I tried to fix and it broke. I got home and then found it was a coin with the hold cut in it. Last is The Rock. I got a great Silver hit and dug hole, and remove rock to see where coin was and sound was gone? <img src="/metal/html/confused.gif" border=0 width=15 height=22 alt=":?"> Check rock and it was giving me the Silver sound! I have it home and for life of me can not figure it out!
This might be one of the last days, freezing rain and chance of snow tomorrow. HH
 
The 1871 looks to be a seated quarter or half. it looks just as big as your large cent. So it's probably a half dollar.....man that would of been sweet intact. The huge chunk of rock could be a meteorite. Or it could be a huge chunk of copper. Good luck with the i.d. on it. <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> <img src="/metal/html/tongue.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":b">
 
Just looking and you are right dfxmatt, Seated Liberty Half. <img src="/metal/html/cry.gif" border=0 width=40 height=15 alt=":cry">
 
That rock might jsut be a hot rock, with lots of metalic mineral in it.. the 1871 is more than likely a counterfeit attempt.. even chopped up should read higher than a nickel..probably a pewter attempt at a fake.. maybe someone got it passed to them got mad and cut it up <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
 
Here is another photo of rock as requested. Darn, it even looks like axe head from this angle?
Also the cut coin air tested as a good silver on the meter, but sound is still not silver, but I guess that hole has something to do with it and this thing was right on edge in the ground at 8 inches. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> HH
