Trifecta Friday- small cent!

[Indiana Mark]

Met up with a friend today to do a first hunt on a new permission. After about 30 minutes of not finding much, we take a short break to discuss the property and we both agree there HAS to be coins here somewhere.
About 10 minutes after resuming the hunt I dig an 1857 FE cent! My first ever and my new oldest coin. 5 minutes later I pull an 1864 IH from the dirt. My oldest IH.
Another 10 minutes passes when his wife calls and redirects his priorities. 'On the way back to the truck', he snags an 1893 IH.
Since this is a new permission (that he scored) with potential of some good finds, I make my way to an adjacent property we already have permission to hunt and found the 1906 IH and a 1937 wheatie. We can't get back to the new permission soon enough...

Thanks for looking and HH!

All four are soaking in distilled water. Almost all of the crust on the FE is gone. WITH an intact coin underneath.

A large cent. Any large cent, has been on my bucket list since I started detecting. If I would have scored one today I would have intentionally sought out the pesky zincoln just to make the group more complete
