As most of you know, I have been pretty busy with family matters this spring and summer so I have had very limited metal detecting done. On Sunday, A friend and I have a little deer Hunt business called windy ridge outfitters. Well it is that time of the year to get tree stands up and cameras out for our first visitors of the season in November. Just so happens a couple of the cameras and stands are real close to the old sheep farm out in the middle of the woods so I decided to take my metal detector with me and found several pieces of old Forge steal stuff, an ox shoe and and 1837 holed large cent. I never could read the date but a friend of mine and my son both was able to confirm 1837 on. That’s my second large cent. I’m happy with it. I’ve been carrying it in my pocket ever since. I am thinking about wearing it on a necklace like somebody probably did back in the 1800s.
