1798 Draped Bust Cent

I had some play time before work today so I decided to detect in the water at my favorite sand boxes. It was in the 80s so the cool cedar water here in the pine barrens was refreshing. This coin came out of the bottom of sandy creek. It has not yet been conserved.

To think stuff like this is just sitting there - untouched for centuries - boggles my mind.
