Dug a very deep copper today - need help on ID

[Murray8144]

Dug this copper today at an old park. Very deep like 10". All I did was run some water over it and I can't see much at all. Hoping someone with more experience in old copper can tell what it is. For all I know it's just trash.
At first I thought it was my 1st large cent because of the diameter.

Nice KG1. The funny thing about our county is the park system didn't start until 1895. A few incorporate one or several colonial farms so the potential is endless. I've heard of Kg2's coming from these parks but this is the first KG1! Congrats on an old one!

I believe the wet soil may have assisted in finding that old copper. How's it feel getting into the 1700's club? I'm still working on my membership.

ground was soaked...signal was lousy but repeatable and very deep. feels awesome, i skipped right by the 1800s and went deep in the 1700s. what a hobby.
