I scratched it! :'( Luckily it is a very common variety, known as the stemless reverse with a double S. Sheldon variety S-241.

The site was along a beautiful tidal river and it was my first coin from this site, my son a few years back found a half real very close to where the Large Cent was found. I started out getting another flat button which seem to a give me everytime I go out and a object that might be some type of jewelry, a musket ball and about 30 shotgun casings!

Since I now have two Large Cents this month, I think my goal of 100 lifetime should be reached this year and hopefully I do it before winter's end. I am sure there are are still more at this big area and it will just take PATIENCE on my part and continue to slowly work the area.

Enjoy the photos.

Nice large cent. I am curious as to how deep, how it read on your machine, If it was a solid signal, etc. DETAILS!!!

Seems like those buttons keep popping up everywhere!

Nice find Don.

Was it as pictured - in the middle of "nowhere"? Looks like just a forest. Any landmarks or such? I don't have a lot of confidence just hunting "woods" with nothing around.
