1793 Flowing Hair

[DeArmitt Pa]

Well thanks to Mach 1 Pilot, I was able to recover this amazing find. The property we were at has a house that might only go back to around 1900. The yard is loaded with junk and trash. Definitely small coil territory the whole way. As cold and rainy as it was today, I was being followed by wasps. So it was very annoying when your listening to a good signal and hear buzzing by your ear. Mach 1 Pilot also found a KG of some sort, dated as 1771-1778, The last didget is up for debate. We were actally headed back to the corner of the property when I heard this signal, rang in loud and clear. Read as 12-45 on my E-trac and was 6 inches deep. I was expecting another piece of junk, which I though I had because there was no green in the dirt. I checked the hole and no signal, check the dirt and its there. I finally found it in the dirt and was excited. I showed my companions and they said to wash the loose dirt off in the creek by the house. I did. I was shocked when I saw 1793 staring back at me and "One Cent" on the back. I did the happy dance. Needless to say this is a find of a lifetime. This will be hard to top. It is a 1793 Wreath type Flowing Hair with Vine and Bars Edge. Simply amazing. . Also notice the die crack running across the top of the coin and her hair. MINT ERROR.
