a large copper from the sneaky spot!

I have been kinda in a slump the last couple of weeks, mainly due to a lack of spots to hunt at the moment. for lack of a better place to detect, i decided to hit the ol sneaky spot again this morning. it has rained a bit and i figured i would give it a shot with the wet ground. when i got there i decided i would dig all of the repeatable iffy signals which there are a ton of! i wound up with 4 more Wheaties, a little religious medalion and this 1845 large cent! the large cent was a weird signal that i probably wouldn't dig at another spot. it looks like someone tried to hole it at some point since it has a punch in it. i was hoping to pull another silver coin outta there today, but to no avail. ill bet there is a couple more still hiding up there somewhere though. anyway, i am happy with another coppa! this makes 4 out of there so far!

What's up with all these large cents with holes and stamps punched in them? They must not have liked these darn things back then.

Great finds!!!! I'm still after my first one.

its interesting allenb, i have dug 4 from this location and three of them have been damaged in some way. one looks like it was crushed in a vise, one has been bent on purpose and this one with the hole. makes me wonder if there is some kind of link to the site and these damaged coins. i have no idea what used to be at this site. i think it may have been a picnic/swim spot but i have also found an abundance of square nails to support the theory that a building was once there. i am currently trying to track down an 1890s era map of the area. hopefully someday i will figure it out.
