large cent

went out to my field of dreams where I pulled the Constellatio, 18 buttons and large cents. well I pulled another coin. snow on the ground doesn't stop the deus. upon cleaning, I realized I had found a New Jersey copper. I've never found one before, but my buddy has found 2. mine looked odd to...

Good Morning! its me again! I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming after last nights quick 1.5 hour hunt. 2023 was a slow year of detecting. when I say slow, I mean with finds. my buddy and I would go out almost every weekend and detect. but the end of 2023 has been very generous...

Went back to the old farm cent and found large cent number 6 for this site. I found it a few feet from where I found the others. I hit it with the shovel but luckily didn't damage it. It was sitting almost completely vertical about 6" down on the side of the hole I dug. I had gone over it a...

Hello everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum and I’m thrilled to be on the site. I hope to share any of my future finds, since I just relocated to the north Georgia area. My main interest lies in civil war and colonial artifacts. I wanted to share this “Love Token’ (?) I found...

I found new site at the park the other day where a home site was located from an 1859 map. I had tried to locate the site couple times before but with no luck. I finally found it. I found an 1860 IH with a square nail hole through it along with an old pin and small gold plated ring a couple...

Just out for a quick grocery run and the tray wasn't dry this time. Didn't check em out until I got in the car, I gasped once I saw the date and remaining details. I cant tell if a find like this is unusual or just extraordinary:o. Thanks for looks, HH!:icon_thumright:

REVERSE OBVERSE I found this today, and I’m showing the reverse side first, because that’s where I can see the “RICA” at about 4:00-5:00 and hints at the wreath. The obverse has nothing to show. It’s been holed, And there’s rust coming through. The corrosion is topical and rusty, so I wonder...

My first hunt of the weekend was about 3 1/2 hours at a new permission at a house dating back to sometime between 1801 and 1819, it was a huge brick house that has apparently been hunted a bunch but I decided to give it a go. I found a spill of 3 wheats right off the bat and then a few other...

I can't tell you how great I feel right now. The house I was detecting (same one I've been posting about recently) is from the 1870s and in the previous two hunts I got a gold earring, silver quarter, old cash coin, 20s coin spill among other things so it's been quite productive. At the...

Hi everyone! If you saw this post at 2 am yesterday, you most likely realized the photos were invalid and unable to load. I have posted this fantastic relic for all to see. Enjoy! Sorry for the sideways photos - How can I fix that? Whoooooo! I cannot believe what I found yesterday! I...

Whoooooo! I cannot believe what I found yesterday! I was metal detecting on a large wooded hillside in Pennsylvania looking for antique shotgun shells. My metal detector sounded a blip that said there was iron under a log. I know from experience that logs have a tendency to mask good...

Im so excited!!! Our old friends own a beutiful, 1896 Victorian house that I've always wanted to detect. Saturday night I was given permission to hunt their yard and I was beside myself with exciment!!! Well! I hunted for about 15 minutes and then I found a really nice soild high tone. I popped...

Hey T"netters- any ideas as to age? 1809 half cent (not toasted for sure!) plus a large cent (no pic, Mick dug), Pottery is especially interesting to me. And this must be a privy, correct?? 2nd pic has the 5 ft probe buried to the hilt (cleared the leaves around the depressed approx 3-4 ft...

Got out Yesterday to a permission of a house that was built in the 90s but built on an old farm field. Turned up my first Large Cent of the year and first ever with the ORX a few buttons and my oldest find to date a mid 1600s - mid 1700s Saddle Pommel. I didn't find many examples on Google so I...

I found this 1853 Large Cent recently in a town near-by. I asked a guy to detect his yard, and he seemed hesitant, but he eventually agree to give me an hour to hunt his yard, so I made the most of it. I found a 1910 wheat penny which I laid on his porch railing before I left. Near a side...

Been learning my machine. I found where there are pop tops a plenty than these! 14 Indian heads and two large cents! And I think a shilling?

So what actually happened to the 1815 large Cent penny? I have heard speculations that since the US was at war with Britain, (who was their main material supplier for coins) they could not get any shipments of copper to the US. Now I'm no historian, but there were other countries where the US...

So I recently acquired this 1817 13 stars large cent coin (my oldest coin in my modest collection:headbang::headbang:). So I was wondering what its worth is, I bought it for 13.50$. Thank you so much!

Hello friends, hope you all had a safe winter. We had our first hunt of the year a couple of days ago here in Massachusetts at John's 1683 property. Found this coin, but can't quite make out the date's last digit! Definitely a draped bust large cent though. Enjoy and happy hunting! ~Lisa & John
