I found an 1853 US Braided Liberty One Cent coin this week at the old pioneer homestead in North Central Indiana after recent heavy rains.
173 year old coin and probably my best free range find at this site on private land. Minted in Philadelphia when Franklin Pierce was President. Also, my first pre-Civil War find that I can actually date and document.
Good luck
and happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

As a coin collector I have to say that is awesome you found a large cent. I have a couple I purchased and put in my collection but for you to find one like that is awesome!

Update: Yesterday evening, I found an Indian arrowhead and a pioneer horseshoe at the old homestead in North Central Indiana.
The recent extremely heavy rains have really exposed the artifacts. The soybeans will grow soon so I will have to wait until next spring for the plows to turn the soil again.
Good luck
and Happy Hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

Found another arrowhead during quick hunt today near the pioneer homestead in North Central Indiana.
Unique aerodynamic shape on this arrowhead that I have not seen before.
The heavy rains this spring really exposed the artifacts. Happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.
