Beautiful 1814 Classic Head Large Cent!!!

[mangum]

I had a good hunt Saturday at a early 19th century plantation site. I found a beautiful 1814 classic head large cent! I also found a nice variety of other coins & relics (and a ton of trash). The weather couldn't have been better either, mid 60s! (yes, the nickels are cleaned, the landowner got a hold of them & the large cent when I wasn't looking! The large cent turned out nice though!) Thanks for looking & HH!

I had already discussed that I would make her a display case & we would split things fairly since she was interested in the history of the site as well. She tried to take basically everything when I left. I got to keep it to bring to the club meeting but will bring it back later. I then asked if I found another if I could keep it. She responded well, we will see. She already has a LC she found on the ground in the yard. That struck me as incredibly selfish & rude. I'm not in this hobby to do free charity work but I'm happy to share. Although, she did give me permission to come back whenever I want even if she is not there. I'll just leave it at that... I strive to be fair & honest but it must go both ways...

I try to look at it like when I used to fish all the time, I found it, I took a picture of it, then I let it go. I'd rather be honest and take my chances with the owners, the coolest part of it all is the actual moment I find something. Most of the people (95% of them) are usually just interested in seeing what I found. That one guy would never let me come back, that hurt more, because I believe he was trying to use me to see if there really was stuff there for him to take up the hobby and look for himself?

Nice finds. My plan is simple I keep the finds I'am keeping in one pocket and the other pockets has the items to show the landowner if need be. I never offer to show my finds if not asked. And if a landowner gives me permission and says they want to see my findings or cherry pick my finds I say thanks and don't go back.

If I felt like an owner was using me like that, Brad, I would have a place to chuck all my ratty old iron, disintegrating zincolns and pulltabs lol. I would drive by his place and give em a fling all over for him to find

That is a beautiful LC. Congrats on your find. I could not blame you if you don't show her everything since the agreement was a fair share.
