I was 20 feet from Etrac007 when he found it. That was quite a shout of joy I heard when he first found it. Good Job Etrac!

Wooohooo!!! That's an awexome find and enough to warm you up completely on a chilling day like today. I'm guessing you'll be back there again tomorrow. Good luck, maybe you'll find your second LC! Congrats on a really great find Mike!

Super job on that LC :thumbsup:

Some of those "largies" in the 1850's were notorious for weak date strikes. Nice!!

Congratulations on the Big Penny Mike! By the time you are done detecting that location you will likely be close to completing a U.S. Type Coin collection with all the different goodies you have been finding there. Gold coin is next!
