Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 10/23/2015 8:20 pm I got out for a couple of hours on Tuesday afternoon with my detecting buddy Tony. We hunted a new permission, a bar that was originally a hotel built in the mid-1800s. Tony's is a friend of the owner. We hunted the backyard. We didn't find much, but along the back property line, just on the edge of a small woods, Tony dug up an 1871 Indian Head cent. It has a strong LIBERTY and a lovely green patina. Unfortunately, someone tried to make a hole in it. It doesn't go through to the reverse, though. It's the oldest coin Tony has found and he was thrilled. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
