large cent

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

Today I went back to the permission from last weeks post with the buttons and silvers, and was sooo excited at the prospect of more of the same. Unfortunately I didn't find anything at the same site . I decided to go to a spot about 50 yards away that tends to be very trashy. I dug for two...

Hi everyone, John cleared brambles from a new area near where some old outbuildings are on his property. He started detecting and found an 1802 large cent--worn, but he can still see the date and some lettering. He cleaned it up a bit and went back out. Would you believe in the same hole he dug...

Hi everybody, hope you are well. I am posting a few jewelry fragment finds, as well as a beautiful butterfly hair barrette fragment, and a pretty nice 1830 large cent. John dug these over the weekend. I'd love to be able to date the butterfly barrette, but I can't find any legitimate antique...

Hi folks. Hope this note finds you all well. Had time to only do a few hunts over the past few weeks on either side of a well-needed vacation to Kennebunk and Goose Rocks Beach - long time family spot. First hunt was with a buddy of mine in central VT, then another short hunt for about an hour...

If someone has an idea of what year or type of coin this is I would be happy to know. I believe it to be a British Cent (Queen Victoria) coin. Please let me know. Thanks

We went here yesterday for about 2 hours and we found two large cents a wheat penny, some old relics and a coin I believe is a Queen Victoria from the 1800's. I'm gonna post my video here from youtube and anyone has any idea of exactly what this coin is please comment. Thanks alot Our...

Well here is a slice of pie for Rolesville, NC. Found this cut coin, and thought was colonial, but determined after cleaning it was a Large Cent. Date missing, so I compared to a 1856 Large Cent. Under a USB microscope I found the stars are larger, profile is more slanted, and edge is quite...

Desided to go on a Halloween hunt today. Hoping to find some treats not tricks.. Well I found my oldest finds to date. My first large cent and a second a little while later!! Using the Tesoro Tejon....

US coin from mid 1800's I thought this was a US large cent when I found it, but the back is wrong. The Liberty on the front looks like the large cents from 1839 to 1857; however, rather than having a wreath on the back, this coin has an eagle facing left and holding arrows. There does not...

I recently hunted several places and came up with an unusual assortment of items. While hunting a beach I came up with half a pipe bowl from an old clay pipe and a 1909 VDB cent. Tried a spot in the woods that I've pounded and still came up with an old button. The back reads London Double...

UPDATE: CLEANED! THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DRAPED BUST LARGE CENT I HAVE EVER SEEN! Here is a somewhat recent photo of the large cent after a long soak in oil. I'm surprised I never put this picture over here already, I just realized I had this photo after having it for 2 months or more today when I...

I'll combine the past two days to keep from overloading the board. Yesterday, I hit one of the elementary schools close by and dug a little over $3 in clad. About 15 minutes from calling it a day, I realized I had the sensitivity on my AT Pro down to a half from the night before searching the...

I returned to the field I had been hunting earlier in the week. For two days of hunting, I ended up with a variety of old coins and miscellaneous items. I believe I have located the site of a ghost town that disappeared in the 1870s due to the age of the coins. I found no Indians, wheats, or...

UPDATE: Cabin Fever-Coin Fest Got out for a couple days while the weather was warm. Here are the finds. Several indians, silvers, wheats, and two lcs. Posted new pictures of the coins and tokens/misc. No rare dates. However, found 3 1909 wheats.

Well Mom and I hit the dream field again to hit an area of Soy that has dodged the combine for a while that I knew had more buttons and coins in it. It borders the same field with all those half cents and Nj's etc. Got there and started digging buttons again. First coin was this 1807 LC in...

Today I had a fantastic hunt. I metal detected an 1835 house and had some serious luck. I found my first skeleton key and my first SLQ. I also found a LC, crotal bell, a silver Washington quarter, two silver war nickels and a few buttons.

Headed back to a place that is pretty old. I've been skunked there as it has been pounded. I was excited to see that trees and brush had been cleared. There is a spot near a tree that I've tried to get to in the past. I had a lot of brush around it. Well, all that was cleared. So, headed...
