Never in a million years...

[Silvermonkey]

Hi All-

Took advantage of a beautiful day to get out detecting with my new XP Deus. I'm still a newbie with this machine, and working hard to better understand its infinite setting. Today I was using the #5 pre-set program, " G-MAXX".
This particular program seems to suit my preferred hunting locations ( off road, deep woods). About an hour into the hunt, I got a slamm'n "90" VDI. After digging down only about 4 inches, I pulled out a large cent. This was a nice surprise:



A quick re-scan of the hole told me there was something else there...Out pops another large cent! Scanned it again, and still another signal, and another large cent! I'm in shock that I just pulled three large cents out of the same hole.



After some gentle tooth -picking, they revealed themselves to be 1798 draped bust large cents ( at least two of them for sure). I couldn't be more thrilled! I have never found more than one large cent at one time before. To find three in the same day, and in the same hole...pretty freak'n amazing.

Big deal...I could do that easy...IF you'd be so kind as to bring them all here and deposit them edge-to-edge in a 3" deep hole that I've pre-dug, I mean. 😂😂😂 Way cool spill! Great job, Sir! 🙌

Very cool! 1 of these 1700's LC's would have made anyone's day.................. but 3?? Congrats!!

Nice job with the tooth pick. They look great. Nice!

SWEET! They are pretty ladies, not too bad of shape coming out of the ground like that. Early on when I first started I found a Half Cent sandwiched by two larger coppers, they were in horrible shape. Colonial copper spill, don't get much better than that, congrats!

 

[Digger RJ]

Nice!!! Congrats!!!!

 

[Trezurehunter]

Congrats on the Large Cent triple ! That had to be quite a thrill.

Yes, I remember when I found my first one - totally unexpected. Large Cents are always a welcome surprise - great save!
