1796 Liberty Cap Large Cent!

[West Jersey Detecting]

A first for me! I have been hitting an old site with the T2. Many of the targets are DEEP but the T2 in All Metal is killer!

I got two Indian Heads, some buttons and two large coppers. One is bent and unidentifyable, the other is my first Liberty Cap Large Cent! This one is dated 1796. My oldest LC and my second oldest US coin!

Hi Neil , that's nice , love to see those early US coppers . two 1796's dug up in your area of WJ this week hmmm ,, ironic

it may have had something to do with that earthquake near you this mourning .. maybe the quake will bring them closer to the surface but it sounds like your doing just fine without nature intervening thanks to the new detector

I was one of the few that actually felt the tremor.

The T2 has been good to me so far...but it's not as good at ID of targets, so I do spend more time digging junk as well. The one area it excels is small, deep targets. The Two 1/2 reales I posted over the last month were both more than 8 inches deep and sounded clearly and cuff buttons at 10 inches Unheard of with most detectors in this soil!
