1817 LC at a promising site

hogge · May 24, 2010

Friday, Greg (1235CE), invited me to hunt a site where he had found the 1800 Draped Bust Dime last year. After seeing what he has pulled from it this year alone I was all pumped up! The night before our hunt, he pulled a FUGIO from this site. He has not posted it yet, but I'm sure he will. As I looked at his finds from about 3 weeks in this field I was amazed. One of which was a 1724 spanish silver. About an hr into it, Greg found a coin. Kind of tough to ID as it was smooth, although It did see some detail left. Definitely CFT, as it looked rusty, thin, and appeared to be odd shaped. Can't wait to examine it when it is cleaned. We only hunted about 2 1/2 hrs as it was hot and my allergies started to kick in. I received a bouncy penny, quarter, 1/2 dollar signal at 6-8". Turned out to be this Largie. We left on that good note. Haven't really had much to cheer about so I thought I would post it. Id'ed it as a "common" Newcomb 6. (I don't get too excited over largies anymore) Although I do love digging them up! HH HOGGE

nice copper, Hogge.
sounds like a great site.
the pollen has been outta control here in NY as well.
sometimes it looks like someone is burning yellow tires when you look out across a field.

Really great to get out and hunt with you Todd, I really enjoyed myself and I was very happy to see you pull that Large Cent, the 18th colonial coin to come out of that section of the field so far. :icon_thumleft:
