1794 liberty cap. LARGE CENT!!!!

[Vino]

UPDATE, from DON OF SOUTH JERSEY, THIS COIN IS A 1794 LIBRARY CAP, THE DATE PLAYED TRICKS ON US!!!few hours to kill this afternoon so I stopped by this 1719 house where ive never had much. I pulled a few buttons out last fall but I figured I'd give it a shot.
(BOY, IAM SURE GLAD I DID)
The ground just lite up with targets,
First coin was the kg111, then i got the barber dime..Was hoping for older silver, but hey its silver.
Then i dug a few buttons, The sportsmen button with the dog on it I really like! Then came the chocolate tweezers. .That the second pair to come from this site.
Then it happen, I was walking down the side of the house and i get this weak signal, so i started playing with the detector changing some settings to see if i could get a better hit on it..
I was able to clean up the signal some, but not TID reading..
But it was that high wispering tone that you just love!!!!
Dug down about 9inch a bam!!!!
This green disc comes out..
I pick it up, and right away i know its a capped bust by the thickness. .
I say come on chain cent. (NOPE)
Not it..lol.
Anyway i was still really happy..
I wiped it a little bit in the field, and thought i seen 94..
So i checked the side for the leaf,
Hoping the leaf was down to make it the 93 head...
Didn't know it was much better.
After a bath in distilled water, followed by a mineral oil bath..
Yes!!!!! Its a 1793 CAPPED BUST..
My first one.
I have found 1793 half cent before, and 2 1794 Large cents..But the 93 has eluded in till today.
If you could not tell..
Iam a happy man...
Thanks for looking, and sorry about this long winded post..
Just really wanted to share this with you guys.
My wife just dont get it...lol.
Ps, i had to take a pick of the house just to show how cool it it..

That's a hell of a hunt george!, nice to add a coin to your collection that's been eluding you, somehow you manage to kill it all the time!

Thanks Chris..
Its nice to find a first..

Awesome...awesome finds George as always and a well deserved congrats! While so many folks are only playing in the Minor Leagues, your' finds are a testament that you are now a seasoned veteran of the Major Leagues. Even though it is somewhat crusty, there is some decent detail on the 1793 Liberty Cap Cent and if you ever decide to sell it, you should get a lot of very pretty pennies for it. My Banner vote is in for you.

My man! My man! My man! I am beyond happy for you buddy and I know that this could not have come at a better time.,I know you were in a bit of a rut and needed to get over a good one. It's amazing to see you pull another very scarce copper out of the dirt. A find like that will get you back in the groove in a hurry and carry that momentum for a long time. I know you'll pull that chain cent someday and then you will have found about all of the super early LCS and half cents out there. No doubt Banner and still a decent amount of detail on that bad boy. Congrats my friend

Still waiting to get into the LC club, let alone the 1700's club. Great finds!

Outstanding! 1793 Capped Bust large cents are rare. Your piece was a very high grade when lost and all things considered, after being in the ground for over 200 years it's not bad. Definitely a banner find.

I knew you were excited about that site George, and now I can see why. That's an amazing find - the holy grail of large cents in my book. I'm sure this will motivate you to make more killer recoveries there. Congrats again, and good luck!
