1847 LC and now a 1956 British Shilling. Golly gee!

Yay! It's my third large cent this year (and ever!). Found it right by a power pole in the front yard of a 1820s -ish house on a busy road. It was pretty deep and the signal was not that strong - I almost gave up - but I gave it one more scoop and there she was

I don't think I made that scratch because she was really caked with dirt when I found her. I didn't even try to scrape off the dirt to see the date. I just wrapped her up brought her home and gave her a gentle cleaning.

In my 1.5 hour hunt there I also found a 1905 Indian cent, 1914 wheat, 1920 wheat, 1946 wheat $.08 in clad and part of some sort of toy gun.

Happy dance for me today!

thanks for making me feel better! I didn't think I did it but it was still gnawing at me. Now it just adds to her character

Re: 1847 LC Whoop!

Thanks everyone!

Just wanted to update with this example of the random fun of metal detecting. Went back to the same yard and about 10 feet away I dug this 1956 British Shilling

Pretty crazy for this small NY town!

But another one to cross off my list ... well first I have to add it to my list then I will cross it off
