***1793 CHAIN CENT*** A SWEET 7 COPPER DAY!

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

I don't even know where to start Frank picked me up & we headed back to a cellar hole that produced last time there (Roger got 2 nice Ct coppers ,frank got a nova constellatio & i dug a Ct & a 1722 french coin.
Today was no exception right off the bat Ct's started poppin, then a 1793 chain cent! a few more coppers.frank got a KG then i got the shoe buckle.after hours there we decided to hit another site we just eyeballed on side of road.another shoe buckle this one being iron and a 1807 draped bust LC. what a day!
kinda afraid to clean this chain cent anymore.has blackish gritty gunk on it.any suggestions or should i submit this to be professionally cleaned and slabbed?
also frank dug this cannonball.could this thing be live?notice the hole in center?
so all in all i dug 3 CT coppers,1 draped bust,1 chain cent & 2 smoothies.the 1793 is the rarer variety with AMERI in legend.

Well look at this, it's the one thing that's rarer than a chain cent on here.

NO MORE CLEANING.

You can see that it is starting to "flake" at a some spots on the edge now. You know what it is, and can make it all out pretty well. I thinK any more cleaning at this point is and your likely to start loosing. Suit yourself though.
