Record Large Cent Day

[toasted]

The copper factory is still open. Found 4 toasty largies after work today. I think my previous record was three for one hunt. Also got another KGIII and an 1876 IHP. There are two sites in this field but I have found all 9 of the largies, the half cent and two colonial coppers at one site and only two more colonial coppers at the other. Best site I have ever found for large cents even though it has failed to produce a period silver

I think 8 of them are Matron/Coronet head so 1820s and 30s. Only a few have good dates. The 9th one is slick but I think its a draped bust. Gotta be bust or Spanish silver out there you would think

Absolutely utterly sickening.

The toasted condition of farm field coppers is what is sickening to me and the fact that I havnt found an old silver here

Probably as long as your state had a reasonable size population prior to the Civil War

Great day with the detector .Even if you don't find any silver you have a great spot to keep trying

Nice !! Look like the coppers I find--fertilizer, cow poo, plows really take a toll on them- but love finding them

Oh I got more than that last night ....'In a dream'.

I'm still hunting my 1st LC / Copper in almost 20 years of detecting.
