back to the mill again...working another small steep bank about 50 yards from the last time.  This was at the base of the bank, but still about 8 inches down.  I had just dug an almost surface matchbox car about a foot from it.  I am thinking 1855, 56, or 57, but cant seem to make it out.  First half cent at this site.

Nice copper. I usually tooth pick around the date gently and rub with my fingers to see what the date is. I rarely find that series half cents for some reason. Great find.
