There was also A LOT of Revolutionary War and French and Indian War activity. Also, when I hiked through NY on the appalachian trail, I noticed a TON of old foundations and house sites, mainly from the 1700s to 1800s. I'd love to get up there hunting some day. You would also have the benefit of not having to deal with all the crazy competition from other relic hunters like we have around the civil war sites down here. Give it a go, you never know what you might find. R. Report this Post to the Staff
stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 10/12/2010 10:06 am Somewheresouth, I was just reading in the a copy of Coin World I received. Quote "This 1795 liberty Cap Reeded Edge cent certified PCGS genuine, and one of only eight examples known, realized $322,000 at auction Sept, 20 in Los Angeles." Attributed as a Sheldon 79 variety Also William Sheldon of Penny Whimsy described the coin as "Sharpness VG7 or slightly better but lightly corroded with a net grade of Good 4+ Just thought that I would mention that because as soon as I saw your dug coin I thought I just saw a coin like that yesterday in Coin World. Worth having checked out maybe. Still a very cool dig find regardless Congratulations. Terry Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/15/2010 2:18 pm Unfortunately the find in the OP is an S-78, the most common of the 1795's. Still it is a nic piece. I wold suspect though that it has moderate porousity from the ground. The color looks off but that could be the photo. Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 10/20/2010 12:18 pm OK, time to get a detector and a Night Vision system! I'll go to the Park Service again and present that argument to see if I can sway them. Although, I believe Zeewool's statement of a popular national park looking like a mine field is exactly what they're trying to avoid. Oh, and they're still finding cannon balls filled with gun powder occasionally. One guy actually blew himself up trying to disarm one.
