A Crusty Big Copper

[Silvermonkey]

The month of May got off to a nice start yesterday with another big copper. I was detecting along a hillside that was a ways off the nearest trail. The signal was solid, and repeating. The target appears to be a Draped Bust large cent (1796-1807). The obverse is a ok shape, but the date is obscured. The reverse of the coin is super crusty. Earlier in the day on that same trip I also managed a 1909 IHP. Two 100+ year old coins in one hunt...priceless!



Thanks for taking a look. I hope everyone is getting outside and enjoying this beautiful weather ( at least here in Massachusetts) Cheers! Scott.

Nothing wrong with a crusty copper as long as it is old. Nice work!!
