I found this 1853 Large Cent recently in a town near-by.

I asked a guy to detect his yard, and he seemed hesitant, but he eventually agree to give me an hour to hunt his yard, so I made the most of it.

I found a 1910 wheat penny which I laid on his porch railing before I left. Near a side door, about 5 inches down I found my first ever Large cent, an 1853.

To put that into perspective, I have been detecting this area and surrounding states since Dec 2010, and this is the only Large cent I have found, and I don't know anyone in my area that has found one either, so imagine my surprise when I flipped the plug and saw this beauty!
