Great Day in Indy! 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago

Well, no one would go with me, so I had to go by myself. I knew of a farm field real close to my house where I hunted Indian artifacts. In the field there was a high spot that looked like an old house site. There were pieces of broken jugs, pottery, and glass strewn about, and I figured it might be a good place to try. I detected it last year too, but didn't find a single coin.
This year was different. A short time into the hunt I had a great signal. I dug it up and found a coin about the size of a nickel, but it registered too high. I looked a little closer- a 2 cent piece! Next I picked up an arrowhead. That will do... Fifteen minutes later I got a high pitch signal - real deep too. I had been picking up hot rocks too, so I wasn't too hopeful, but I dug it anyway. Bingo! A Large Cent pops out! Now I am really psyched! Dry spell... I hunted for another 2 hours; nothing but a couple old buttons. I finally decided to get ready to go. I started on one last pass on the top of the hill. Bong! I get a nice top right signal, smooth an deep. I hoped I had another LC... I cut a big plug and started scooping out the dirt. Whoa! I see a big disk! Looks like I got another LC! Then I start to pick it up. It's heavy! And it looks silvery! Next I see the serrated edge. No Merc this time! I had to wait until I got home to clean it off, but I was hopeful...
Coins: 1853 LC, 2-cent, 1858-O Seated Half  |

When men stand, resolute, without fear against thine enemies.
When the greatest weapon brandished is principle and courage.
When dogma and death are burned away under the brilliant light of truth and conviction,
then and there will I stand with those I know to be my brethren.
I know these men for they are me
and with them I will stand, even fight and die,
for if the world we seek cannot be,
the one that remains I wish not to see.

Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish,
but you can only spend it once.

NICE Seated Half! I sure hope the nicks and scratches on the reverse weren't from you though. I've nicked a few, but luckily they were only Wheaties and a Silver Rosie.

I'm responsible for most of them on the reverse. It was toward the end of the day and I ws getting tired. Unfortunately when the coin is really deep and BIG it is easier to do...
