Counterstamped Large Cent and buttons.

[Scrappy]

I was able to get out for 3 hours today. Did 1.5 hrs recon (a flop), and 1.5 hrs at an old spot. I squeaked out a largie and a few buttons. I have some other finds, but the wife forced me out to a holiday party and now I'm one the piss, as they say. Maybe tomorrow.




Enjoy and best of luck to everyone.

Nice score on the counterstamped copper.

Excellent finds! Did you notice how that large cent literally dove right back in the hole? It's what I've been saying all along. These things we find do not WANT to be found! They are professional hiders! So, you better get that thing put into something to hold it or it will surely find a way to get back into hiding!

Nice!

Haha. You saw that right?! I didn't want to say anything but I didn't drop nor fumble that coin. It jumped man!

Nice hunt. Nice counterstamped LC. The amount of LC's you guys find up north is insane. We just dont find em down here in the south.


I believe that eagle button is a WW1 US Navy. It looks alot like one i have dug a while back. Got really excited until i got home and found it in Alberts book.

Thanks bud. Brad OutdoorAdv is always saying the same thing. But I don't feel bad for you guys either...cut silver to me, is the ultimate, And something I've never dug. Lol

That's a cool coin I love counter stamps. And that eagle button looks early too. Great digs as usual Steve hh gl.

Another amazing find, Scrappy.........especially after losing 90 minutes to an unproductive scouting mission.
Both my scouting missions today were busts........with no recovery............

Very cool large cent!
I am a sucker for counterstamps and one that's known has to carry some weight!

Thanks IH. Of the marks I've found on coins, this is the first one that was known.

Eagle button is likely an early 20th C. army. The counterstamp likely 1840's. No date on the coin although I see a 182x in person

Cheers bud
