1800 Large cent found at Ye old spot. (update: cleaned Indian 1882)

[EARTHWORKS]

Found this 1800 large cent at a spot that produced some seated, bust silver and lots of large cents. Last time at this spot I got skunked but this time the ground was very moist giving me a better matrix and I got lucky. Also got this Indian Head with no date.
Enjoy...

Looks like "ye olde spot" is "ye olde swamp." But, you got the stuff out of the ground because of the wet.
WTG!!! Let us know as you find more.

The Indian cleaned up really nice. How did you clean it? I dug several last week that need to be cleaned!

a good way for the peroxide method is, regular strength, put a small amount in a small glass, microwave until it boils,
than remove from the micro, place coin in it until it stops bubbling, rinse and enjoy.
this can be repeated, I personally do it 3 times and stop at that point
