I kid you not...yet another Draped Bust find on ole T-Net! This must be her time of the year to come out of hibernation or something and I am very thankful for that! I got off work early today and my cousin and I headed to our spot. There's a huge field right next to a church that was established in 1810 and was also used as a hospital during the civil war.
Anywho, I collected 2 flat buttons about 30 minutes into the hunt and I was digging about (what seemed like a million nails) in between. Then my third good signal came up and I dug the plug and it's still in the hole and I take my lesche and pop it out of the hole on top of the ground next to the hole. Didn't even notice it though until I looked up and saw it beside the hole. lol At first glance after a little rubbing it looked like a Liberty Cap large cent. After getting it home and doing a little q-tip cleaning, I discovered it was an 1803 Draped Bust large cent. JUST last friday I found my oldest large cent which was a 1817...who knew a week later I would beat that by 14 years!! You gotta love this hobby! After that I found 2 more flat buttons and a suspender clip or buckle of some sort. Not too sure really. It was another great day of hunting and this property just keeps on giving! Thanks for looking guys and happy hunting.
