Few recent short hunts yield 1794 liberty cap LC, crotal bell and more

Hey everyone,
Due to my busy schedule I've only been able to get out for about an hour every couple of days but In my last 2 hunts I managed to pull a 1794 liberty cap large cent, a toasted flying eagle, a mini crotal bell and some buttons and other odds and ends.

Nice one there! I have dug a lot of Draped Bust large cents, but never a Liberty Cap.

That's a mighty fine looking liberty cap. Love the patina on it

Awesome digs. You pulled three of my bucket listers in those hunts. the crotal bell, FE, and the Capped Bust LC. Kudos to you. :occasion14:

Now that is a great hunt! I have found small bells before, but not the petal type. Congrats on your beautiful LC.

Thats a great find. Have you tried cleaning the top were the word liberty would be? Looks like it might clean up better. So you could find out what one you have there.. Congrats on a great coin.

Thanks George,
I haven't done too much cleaning on it at all but youre right, there is some crusty dirt that could still come off. I know I would lose all of the detail if I ran it under water so I think maybe i'll take a toothpick to it and see if that helps in finding what variety it is.
