FiIRST LARGE CENT

[Metdet49]

Got back to the cellar hole this morning where I had previously found the early 1800's flat button and Jew's harp. I finally found my first large cent right at the edge of the cellar hole amongst some fallen rocks. It's holed and it's pretty toasty but at least it's identifiable. Dated 1828 it's also my oldest coin to date. The only other find was another London flat button.

Thanks Ace. Yeah I was pretty excited when I saw the size of it, I figured it was a LC but couldn't confirm until I did a little light cleaning.

Thanks for the kind words from a fellow M6 user Terpfan. The hole does kind of add a personal touch to it.

Tnanks for all of the positive feed back to everyone. It was nice to check a find off of my "would like to find" list.

Sweet find, I don't expect to ever find one of those in my neck of the woods!

Me too! Can't miss one these monsters if it's anywhere near your coil so I'm sure I haven't missed one, but haven't found one either.
