First LC!

[postalgriff]

here are some of my recent digs, got out today with Brent, Craig and FFD and had a good time. Finally pulled a LC from about 7 inches. It's holed and in rough shape, and may not be able to get a date off of it, but I'm still happy about it. Also, a 39 quarter, a 44 war nickel, and a nice sterling ring. thanks for looking all, HH, Griff

thanks D, the quarter I dug ealier in the week at a sidewalk strip off Ganson st. while out running errands. (that hunt was about 15 minutes and the wife doesn't know about it ) Anyway, that LC is not cleaning up at all....the peroxide changes nothing, I'm really wondering if it might be a counterfeit. It doesn't seem like a copper coin to me. any ideas?

Nice finds brother!! Man that large cent is a little beat up, but I'd still be freaking happy!!! It was nice getting together with the three of you today....sorry I had to bail and do my brakes and cut grass.....maybe I'll have more "Griff Time" next time!!

Big congrats on your first LC bro. Was great to be there when you dug it. Cool assortment of finds you pulled. That yard produced even though it seemed like a slow start. Congrats on the war nic and silver ring. I like the token and Boy Scout piece also. Was fun getting out with you guys!!

Nice finds, like the ring, and Congrats on your LC!

I soaked my one and only LC(thus far) in olive oil for about 2months. I wasn't

able to get a date off it, but the olive oil did bring up a silhouette image

Good luck,

Nice assortment of finds, Josh. WTG on the LC, counterfeit or not. It doesn't appear to have the normal copper patina.
