    My First Large Copper @ 'The Park'

    Yesterday I decided to go to the park where I have been getting some really nice finds.
    I hunted just about an hour and I get a strong VDI 87 @ 7 inches on the T2.
    I'm thinking maybe a nice silver quarter...no...out pops my first large copper.
    It is in rough shape and someone stamped their initials in it.
    I know it is hard to see, but I believe it is an 1831.
    I also found some clad and some junk.
    Thanks for looking.

    Joe

    Always nice to find a large one cent!! Soaking in boiling Hydro-Oxide will get some of the crud off. Well done!!
