1875 penny grist mill hunt

So, the September/October weather in Cleveland this year has been exceptionaly nice. This enabled me to get some good perch fishing in. Thus, the detecting trips have been limited to an hour or so after work. The mill site that I have been hunting has been great because it's very close to home. I am content to hunt for an hour and come home with one nice keeper. Each of the last two hour long hunts only netted one keeper each but they were decent ones.
Dug up a crusty IH:

Turned out to be a semi-key date – 1875. But it's still crusty.

The next keeper turned out to be a 1916 Barber Dime.
