I've hunted this field many times before and only got flat buttons and other 1800s little stuff, never any coins until now. This place has been pounded by others I know. When I heard the signal I thought there's no way someone missed this unless it's a can. But it's my best condition large cent yet.

Congrats on digging that awesome LC, :occasion14: It's in great condition for being in the ground that long. That beats my oldest by 13 years. Your persistence and perseverance really paid off.

yes sir, i literally grazed my finger lighly across it with some nose oil, and stapled it closed, the only bad thing is this came from the part of the field where all the slave houses were, so i feel sorry for who lost it. i bet they were missing it. but i pay them my respect by putting it in my display case,

Well I know a guy who lost his bag of kg2 and kg3 and buttons out there in the woods near the field I found this. I need to find that
