First Large Cent plus an IHP, a Rosie, and some whatsits...

[Murray8144]

Man was it butt cold today...plus the wind. So i'm extra siked with these finds. The IHP came first. Very shallow...no more than 3 inches. Then I got a screaming quarter signal and 4" down i saw large copper. I've pulled a bunch of these same GD batting cage tokens so I said a quick prayer that it wouldn't be another and lo-n-behold it wasn't. My first LC. It's pretty wasted but who cares. At least I got a date: 1843. Wrapped up the hunt with the Rosie, 1953.

Also 7 wheats, a disheartening number of memorials, a lock plate, some keys, and some whatsits.

Now to dethaw with a scotch.

That's a great hunt! Sometimes I don't realize how cold I am till I quite. Good finds will do that to you. Congrats

I'd like to have seen you when you figured out it was your first LC. I know I won't forget my own reaction on my first. That's not bad condition, IMO

Congratz on your first LC!

Sweet finds! Congrats!
My one & only LC...is dateless.

Ya when you get out there finding all kinds of stuff you don't mind the cold too much, till you can't feel your fingers and toes, kinda hard to dig at that point.

WTG Murray!!!! I remember my 1st LC, I am glad that no one was videoing the event, where I broke into a happy dance. I was so happy I had to take a few pics and called the hunt off so I could celebrate the FIRST... How many shots before you thaw out? Which Item do you consider the whatsits? Is it the lead disk with 2 half moon holes? That's a hem weight, mainly used for drapes or curtains.

A big congrats to you!

 

[Murray8144]

thanks for all the props folks - much appreciated

Big Congrats on your first LC!!! I remember mine, it was an 1852 from a door knock. I went back the very next day and found my second LC also a 1852! Here's hoping you find many more in 2016!

 

[Old Dude]

Congrats! You scored a trifecta with the LC, IH and the wheat. Nice bunch of finds. I bet your second will come along soon.
