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

Awesome 1700's Gary! I can't seem to find the LC's down here for nothing.

Way to go Gary! Not much would be closer to the top of my wish list than a liberty cap.

The EuroTek Pro you sold me, is a great little machine....and finding the Liberty Cap with it just makes the deal better.
Thanks Gary

Check out that little triangle in the lower right corner

If that's cut sheet brass or copper, it might be a "trade point," an Indian arrowhead made of European material. It'd be a nice find.
