1801 Draped Bust LC

[hogge]

Haven't had much time to hunt, or any posters as of late, but the weather is changing for the better. Went to the spot where the 2 Vermonts and the Belt Tip were found to dig out the privy. After 5 hours and almost 10 feet, we came up with zero. The water table kept filling in the hole. So we decided to detect a little. With the recent rain we had, the hits started coming a little, even though we have pounded this spot. About 1/2 hour into it, I came up with this. It's in pretty rough shape, but when it's wet, the date is able to be seen 1801. Was about 4" down.

Love it..Great find. Last year I found at least 12 Draped bust LC's but this year zero. I did manage to find a decent 1807 Draped Half Cent.

Very nice! Can you make out the fraction? There are a couple of fraction errors on the 1801. I found a nice "1 over 0" last year.

The reverse is basically shot. Can't make out the fraction at all. It's even tough to make out the wreath and "ONE CENT". Sometimes they come from the ground in nice shape, and others, like this one, crapola! Bummer. The only way I could make out the date is when it's wet. Thanks my friend. Hogge
