Finally, a Large Cent 1831

[Bev]

Finally, I found an 1831 large cent today in an old park. It was where an old rotted tree trunk sat. My first one and hope to find others- very excited! I didnt clean it and don't plan to do so. Hope to hit that park again tomorrow!

A MUCH nice 1831 than in my collection. I think after cleaning it will prove to have Very Fine (VF-20) details, or better. Yeah, it's a dug coin, and will have problems associated with the soil exposure. But still, a much nicer coin than in many collections.

Congratulations, and hope you find lots more!

I've been test driving a friend's AT Pro and wasn't feeling like I was mastering it at all. I almost felt guilty about finding it because it wasn't skill, just almost dumb luck. It did ring an clear stong signal though instead of the somewhat choppy ones I had been trying to decypher all day. All in all I think I'll sell my extra two to put toward one of these...Hitting the park again this morning with a "pro" with the AT Pro to pick up more pointers!

Nicely Done ! There is nothing like the feel of a freshly dug Large Cent in your Hand
Congrats,

Congratulations on finding your 1831 LC Bev!

Luck really has very little to do with it . . . you have a good machine, you were in the right location and you're digging the right tones!

That's all it takes, you're going to find silver pretty soon now!
