Went out today to a plowed corn field (old cabin site ) with my Teknetics EuroPro.
Found 3 large cents ...one is 1796 Liberty Cap....they made both that year, Draped Bust large cents, 363,375 mintage that year... the Liberty Caps much lower mintage 109,825
The other two large cents are toast....pewter spoon handle, Gilt and cuff buttons, and other stuff

Way to go, Gary! I find LC's at a rate of one a year. Three in one day is amazing. Were they on the Sullivan Trail? Last fall I found three Indian Head pennies under one rock! All 1864- 2 were copper, and one was bronze.

Love finding large cents. Still waiting to break into the 1700s. Have one that could be but no date. Nice finds!

Yes they were found on the Sullivan Trail .
Five mile from Montour Falls or Catherine`s Town that Sullivan`s men wiped out in 1779.
In a corn field 1 mile from my house.
Three 1864 Indian Heads in one spot is a good hunt in anyone`s book

Way to go Gary. Haven't heard that much about the new little Teknetics yet. Sounds like a pretty hot little machine to be preset on the GB. That is the kind of hunt that gets the ole heart pumpin.

That 1796 is an awesome find Gary ! Those don't show up all that often - A real piece of early American coin history there .

The EuroTek Pro is one hot machine for the money it`s hard to beat !
If ya ever get a chance to use one you will be nicely surprised.
