Nice! Still haven't found a large cent. With all the CW stuff you dig, you were bound to get there eventually. Hope it cleans up well.

Re: First LC and Finally broke the 1800's.....

Congrats On your first Large Cent! May you find many more. I really like that picture of the area your hunting. Like I've said before, we just don't have that kind of open space on Long Island. Are you allowed to hunt all that open countryside? Cause if you can, you should just wander like Johnny Appleseed with a detector and swing all over that land.
