Finally found my first Large Cent

[NKDigger]

Got out this evening and finally got her. After detecting for several years I had never been able to find a Large Cent. I am overjoyed. I also found a 1867 5 cent pc. with rays and a few buttons. This gilted button has a backmark but I am struggling to read it. Thank you for looking and happy hunting to all.

Congrats on your first LC! Hit that area again for sure, there could very well be another LC in the area! FYI I've seen markings like that before on a LC and it was done by a rototiller.

She's a beauty!
That's why we're willing to tuff out the mosquitos and ticks and heat or whatever other elements are out there, these kind of finds make it all worth while.
Congrats!

Thanks everyone. I was able to identify the button today. The backmark says "Benedict & Burnham". It dates between 1834 and 1843. This company eventually became Waterbury.
