Day off woohoo! I decided to return to a spot that produced a couple Indian cents (and not much else) last year.

On my walk to the spot I found three silver dimes all in a one foot circle. What fun to get a solid silver signal, and then hear two more close by! Turned out to be two Rosies and a Mercury. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1495752478.836038.jpg

When I got to the spot I slowed down, it's loaded with iron junk. The first screaming signal was this large buckle (sash?). ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1495752604.816449.jpg

Then I came across a blip of a good signal and dug up a big old rusty nail (see it top left of the coin?). Then a little chunk of chain came out, and then a large cent! My FIRST Vicky large cent in eight years of digging. I've dug quite a few silver Vickies but never the copper. I think the chain used to be attached to the hole in the cent, maybe was used as a watch fob or part of a necklace.

Pretty fun day if I do say so myself!

By all means "FUN DAY !" Great way to spend the day. Three dimes in a group. Way cool huge old buckle and the 1st copper LC & holed with chain. That's enough to get me dancing right there. Glad you had the experience and thanks for sharing it.

Wow! What a day you had. days like that are hard to come by and when you finally have one, don't you wonder how long it's going to be until you find another great hole like that. Again congratulations

Thanks Hammer. I returned to the same spot today and had even more good luck. Posting it up shortly.
