Dug a 1899 IHP and 188? V Nickel on the same spot I got the Draped Bust LC yesterday. Got another one tonight. No hole but Toasted of course. Weird because I have dug nothing other than these two early largies that would indicate this site is older than late 19th century

Another draped bust largie, sweet!
 
your killing it!
 
Any draped bust copper is a good one in my book. Congrats! :thumbsup:
 
Nice digs toasted, I think I'd camp on that site for a while. It gives up the goods. Congrats on digging those 3 keepers. :occasion14:

Thanks. The 3 cent nickel and a silver dollar are about the only type of coins from the 19th century not to be found in this field. Seated half,quarter,dime,half dime,shield,v,trime,two cent, FE, IHP, and now Large cent have all been found
 
Another Drape Bust, Sweet!!
What county you in?
 
A lot of detail on that LC. What is the date? And what does the obverse look like??

The obverse is complete toast. Its a shame because it did appear to have a lot of detail before the fertilizer got to it
 
You are doing GREAT! Keep it up!! Nice finds!
