Today I went back to the permission from last weeks post with the buttons and silvers, and was sooo excited at the prospect of more of the same. Unfortunately I didn't find anything at the same site . I decided to go to a spot about 50 yards away that tends to be very trashy. I dug for two straight hours and found nothing but scrap, cans, and iron. I was about to get frustrated when I get a high 92 signal on the XP Deus. Eight inches down in the corn field out pops a 1838 Matron head large cent, and I caught it all on video! My day is made, I'm still shaking!

Nice nab on the LC and congrats. Yes, it is funny how this hobby works. One of the LCs I nabbed last year happened on the first corn row I started on, then nada the rest of the day. Quite odd.

Excellent Large Cent. It was worth digging junk for 2 hours to get that one.
