First US large cent!!!

[EdHartzel]

My feet are still thawing out as I write this- just had to share the news! This morning I recovered my first US large cent and it’s an 1800 Draped Bust. I was certain I was about to pull a silver quarter out of the hole with the way the Equinox was screaming! 6” in decent soil. Not the greatest details but obviously identifiable with a discernable year! First large, and oldest US to date! Man I am proud! This hobby is so much fun!!!! Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting all!!

Sweet old LC. That is an oldie, they usually pop out as Matron or Braided around my parts. Congrats
