Here is Draped Bust Large Cent #2 from the hay field accross the road from me. These are the coolest things to see in a pile of dirt ;D Not sure of the date yet..... I will be cleaning her just a bit so expect updated photos later. See my avatar to gaze upon LC #1. This is the field that gave me a George Washington Inaugural button too.

More later, VPR

Sweet Dig VPR....Did your Avatar look like this one ? If so could you share the recipe..... :thumbsup: Love your traveling expense's ;D
 
Flippin' awesome!!!!!

Way to go!
 
I have finished cleaning....... 1803 once again ;D This one didnt clean up quite as well as the last but nice anyway. This one was only about 50 feet from where the first one was dug. 7/8 inches deep in dark topsoil.
I also found another piece of jewelry. This piece looks like it has some stones that are cut and some that look like small drops of glass.
The reverse of the LC looks like it was struck slightly off center. The obverse looks to have two small cuds top/right.
I added a pic or two of both the Large Cents together.

Thanks for the replies, VPR

GREAT FIND. SUPER :thumbsup:
 
I Love Twin's ;D......
 
MaN Oh MaN OH MaN, real nice twice. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: JYD
 
I think this 1803 is a Sheldon-243. Stemless variety. The coin has the cud or broken die above TY in "LIBERTY" as seen in Cherry Pickers. Also unless my eyes fail me there are no stems on the reverse.
Listed as scarce....
Any help with this is greatly appriciated. Opinions on "NET" grade are welcomed as well.
