I was not aware that they made 3 cent pieces, 2 cent pieces,or large cents in 1899. Anyway lets see some pics.WTG
He said date range 1840 - 1899, but would still like to see some picture of those awesome finds. I've found the three center and (4) two centers but 0 Gold coins and 0 large cents in my 37 years of hunting.
Good finds!!!

Rookies can sometimes just beat the socks of ya. I had been showing an old man what I had been finding and it got him very interested. He bought a Garrett Ground Hog and his first two trips out he found a total of two gold rings. You just never know.

Wow.

That was harsh. I never knew that the burden of proof was required for posting your finds on here. It's not up to any poster to convince anyone else that their finds are legitimate, no matter what they are. It doesn't say anywhere in the sign up information that you have to provide a picture or a certificate of authenticity or a map or anything else to justify your claims. I find the behavior in this thread to be much more damaging to the credibility of this forum than any made up finds with no pictures could ever be.

Let's lighten up. If someone says they found something that you don't believe can be real, keep it to yourself. Who's it going to hurt?

I have become a better treasure hunter due to the advice and information that is given on this site and I look forward every day to seeing the amazing finds that you all make, and I just wish we could keep it friendly.

I don't think it was harsh at all...we were led along with the promise of pictures which never happened.

I think it was the inconsistencies in her posts that threw most everyone off. She originally said that she found a gold coin , "some" 3 cent pieces, "some" 2 cent pieces and two large cents dates ranged from 1844 to 1899.The last time they made any of those coins was 1889. O.K an honest mistake. Then she posts that there were two 3 centers dated 1866 and 1871, two large cents dated 1844 and 1848, one half cent dated 1853 , "one" 2 center dated 1866 and two one cent pieces ( i am assuming they are small cents because she already mentioned the large cents) dated 1847 and 1899. There is no 1847 cent other than a large cent. If people are going to make stuff up they should do a little research into the coins they are claiming to find. I have no problem with giving credit where its due, but I do have a problem with people compromising the integrity of this forum. We need to have a fiction section on this forum for people who want to make stuff up.

I know I have dug a few old coins (my one and only large cent comes to mind) that the date was extreamly hard to read. Luckily I know something about coins and knew what era my coin came from, from deductive resoning, some water to bring out details better, I was finaly able to make out 1851. Now my brother was (who lives in Fla, and im in Ohio) was trying to tell the the date of a LC that my oldest brother found back in 1977, when he was looking at the coin (well worn) he gave me a few dates, until I had him describe the lady on the coin, with the number of stars ect.. we were able to pinpoint the date a tad better. So it is possable for this poster to have made an honest mistake when giving the dates. I have looked at worn coins before and seen all kinds of dates off the same coin. And if someone is new or unfamiliar with coin types, it doesn't make it any easier. Not posting a picture after you state your going to, doesn't help with making people believers though. Just my 2 cents...HH.....Bill

Hey jeremeysmom23 Congrats !

I hope you can get the Pictures up.

If your Large cent is US it may be 1799
not 1899
