I've hunted this field many times before and only got flat buttons and other 1800s little stuff, never any coins until now. This place has been pounded by others I know. When I heard the signal I thought there's no way someone missed this unless it's a can. But it's my best condition large cent yet.

That's a very nice coin. Great find! Great restraint too, she is beautiful as she is without over cleaning.
