Finally a first for me

[gold panner]

I have been hoping to find a large cent for a while and have hit tons of old foundations which have been great for relics and such but have not been able to get anything seated or a large but I finally today I got my first large cent. I was driving by a building that I knew was an old school house, So I thought why not go ask permission and I got the go ahead. First target was a crystal clear 85 at six inches thinking quarter I dug it and it took a minute to figure out it was a large cent that came out. Unfortunatly it is toast but I was able to pull a date 1831. I am trying to load a pic but for some reason it is not working. The lawn is pretty large and I was only there for a half an hour so a future hunt is in the forecast. I did manage to find some modern clad as well and a wheat.
