Field Keeps on giving!

[Oldhand]

The other day my wife and I made some cool finds in a field on our farm.
Steve in PA mentioned that based on the finds we should also probably run across a large cent. He was right!!
So goes the curse.....I can't get a date off of any coins I dig, lol. This large cent was between two pieces of old iron. Took me about 10 minutes of scanning with different settings before I decided to go ahead and dig it. I could barely distinguish that there was something else in the signal. I am glad I decided to dig.

Nice find. A Large Cent makes for a good outing.

Congrats! Sonething so cool about the large cents. My 38 I dug a few weeks ago shares the same look. Just for a reference of dating it.

Finding an LC in a farm field is a real good reason to revisit that farm field,, lol
Congratulations

Congrats on the old copper. I spend more time digging and not as much deciding, I think you can find more goodies that way

Nice find, I'm thinking that is a Classic Head Cent 1808-1814?

I don't think so, I can kinda see stars all the way around.

I don't think so, I can kinda see stars all the way around.

As best I can count it appears to be 13 stars. we "think" we can see 1832....however, this is highly subjective to old eyes looking at it really hard
