I just got in to this hobby in the spring and have been thrilled with some of my finds this past summer but there is nothing that gets my heart rate up or gets me talking to myself more than seeing a big green disk in the dirt!!
I dug a somewhat "homely" 34 LC yesterday and was tickled to find it at a hunted out cellarhole but today... another LC from the same "hunted out" cellarhole!. Just goes to show. I repeated "holy $%P" i don't know how many times while i was getting pictures of it in the hole.
It was a gray day here in Ohio,40 degrees and I almost talked myself in to staying in to do some researching and surfin the forum. Figured i better get out while i can,flurries are in our forecast for tonight :tongue3: thanks for havin a look!
Jerry

Jerry, you have a good spot there, glad to see you get another one! Gee, I find a lot of the shotgun casings also. :tongue3: Keep your thimbles, you will be surprised some day at how many you have found, and different styles.........

Nice find. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: The large coppers get my heart racing also. Now use the picture of the coin in the hole as your desktop backround and then you'll see it all the time. :D :thumbsup:

What a beautiful patina on that LC Jerry! It looks like..well..money. :thumbsup:
I'd like to find a coin that old around here, but not to many Indians were dropping LC's back then...

Are you still using the 12" coil?
