    dug my 1st large copper yesterday

    Too bad it wasn't older and American I couldn't pinpoint it to save my life so it wound up getting nicked a few times, probably best that's it a foreign coin. I also got another IH, another 1888.

    Re: dug my 1st large copper yesterday

    Got both the 5 and 10 French Centimes at a local site some years back. Neither one was in nearly as good condition as that one. Both of mine came from the site of an Armistice Day Celebration, little wonder and I'd wonder if yours came from a recently returned doughboy also.

    Maybe even one of those Teufelshunde from Belleau Woods!
