Was supposed to meet a friend this morning to hunt his dads old farmhouse but he was a no show.Decided to go back to an old homestead about 20 minutes away.Called a guy i met a few weeks ago to see if he wanted to tag along,he said he would meet me there.THings started off pretty slow,got a few lincolns that were deep enough i had to check then got a nice deep signal that was repeatable and had nice tone but numbers w2ere bouncing.found the 1847 braided hair at about 7 inches.We puttered around there for about another hour i picked up a few wheats{i prolly ought to check the dates on those}then moved to a stubble field a few miles away.Got a little junk then got nice strong signal,dug down about 2 inches and got my first coronet largie.Is also first time for a 2 largie day for me.the coronet date is not readable but im still very happy with it

Congrats on a great day!
 
Nice large cents, they sure look good in the dirt when you dig them up!
 
Great finds there. I see what you mean about the Coronet. At least you can read the first two numbers. Hit that site again and see if you can find a few more. How old is that homesite? Is there a possibility of some colonial finds?
