My First Large Copper @ 'The Park'

Yesterday I decided to go to the park where I have been getting some really nice finds.
I hunted just about an hour and I get a strong VDI 87 @ 7 inches on the T2.
I'm thinking maybe a nice silver quarter...no...out pops my first large copper.
It is in rough shape and someone stamped their initials in it.
I know it is hard to see, but I believe it is an 1831.
I also found some clad and some junk.
Thanks for looking.

Joe
