1820 large cent was my best find today. Also got a wheat cent and a dog tag. I had to chisel and chop every single target out of the ground. Never get much out of this area accept scrap metal. The last thing I expected was a large cent. And that is the 1st one for 2015. I had other stuff to do but got about 6 or 7 hours hunting in. This is one of the few spots that the perma frost is only a few inches. Otherwise I generally would not waist my time. This is large cent number 3 for spot as I recall. I lost count how many bottle caps, oil lamp parts, and lead junk I dug today. The large cent made it all worth the trouble.

Yeah, we had a rain that shrank all of our snow and then caused it to harden into 6 inches of what is more ice than snow. If it was only snow, it would clear out pretty quickly once the thaw starts.

That is a really nice LC, and with a date on it too. Way to be trooper, digging in the frozen ground. Good show!
