I'm thankful I found a large cent

Went back to the soybean field where I was at yesterday. I spent about two and a half hours going over the area Oldjerseygirl found the ring. Nothing there but a wheatie, 1918 I believe. Stopped at a different field on the way out to try one corner, just to see what I could come up with. Looks like a 185? Toast but she is a large cent.
Happy thanksgiving

Some days we find a mint, other days we pray for a keeper. A Large Cent always fits the bill for a keeper and is something to be thankful for on any hunt. Glad you snagged that one Brad. Cheers and keep them coming!

I had luck with the dirt on her, I clearly can see the date, bust, and one cent on the reverse. It's not real clear, maybe to you on your phone maybe? I know what it is and WhatIFind/ Gary knows what it is. So I'm content in knowing I found a very rare coin that is in horrible shape.

Some days we find a mint, other days we pray for a keeper. A Large Cent always fits the bill for a keeper and is something to be thankful for on any hunt. Glad you snagged that one Brad. Cheers and keep them coming!
Thanks Scrappy, come on down brother, probably only hour fifteen or hour and a half for ya. I think George is coming today.

To tell your story about your hunt, you need to start your own thread. Click on Todays finds, then click on start a new thread, then follow all the other pertinent buttons, (manage pictures)

Glad to see that you had a nice Thanksgiving Brad. Well done on the LC!
Thanks tom, I found a gold gilded button yesterday, for a split second I thought I had a gold coin!

The first part is Thanks. You've got that down. Now for the giving. Please send it to me right away! :)

Skippy
I think it's worth about 60.00 bucks, send me 80.00 and its yours. 20.00 dollars digging/giving charge.

very cool....I'd sooner find a piece of skylab around here.
Every now and again I think of moving out of this shi*hole of a town I live in, to go to a warmer, nicer place and then think of where would my chances be best for finding colonial?
I'd have to move to where George/Vino, lives. haaaaa lol.
