Beautiful day to get out for my lunch hour at an old homestead site. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1492453609.833043.jpg

Ground cover starting to get denser, but still low enough to hunt. Lots of typical farm targets, then finally a really strong concise coin signal. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1492453831.964998.jpg Large roundness popped out of plug, then a closer look definite coin with clean details and definitely the greenest coin I've found. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1492453924.366209.jpg Lunch hour running out so pop dirt encrusted coin in my pocket thinking that I have finally found my first large cent. After a quick clean up realize that my quest for a LC is still on as I have found an old foreign coin... 1893 10 Centesimi. Well at least it is Large and old...
