FINALLY BROKE INTO THE 1800's!!!

Made plans yesterday to meet up with my hunting buddy Steve after work today. We decided to hit a old park that we've done well at before. This park is hunted to DEATH!! If your gonna find something good there, you have to be very patient and have a WHITES!!! [thumbsup] 2 hours of hunting and all I had in my pocket was a wheat 1952 and 2 memorials. Also the trophy stand and old metal thing with designs on it. Started getting dark and slowly we drifted back in the direction of our cars. Then I got a soft hit of 84-90 VDI at around 6-8 inches. Asked Steve to run his machine over it and he got the same. Dug down and out popped my FIRST LARGE CENT!!!!! 1831!!!!!!! I believe its the Medium letters Variety. [cool] [cool] [cool] Before this coin my oldest was 1901 lol. I can't really remember my reaction but I know I had a BIG smile on my face!!! Then I started to pack things up and Steve was still hunting. Walked over to him and watched him dig a goodie!!! I'm sure you'll see his post soon [thumbsup] Awesome day hunting with a great friend!!!! And to think we almost decided not to go LOL Sure glad we did!!! [thumbsup]

Thanks for looking and HH Woody420

Sounds like a fun hunt, glad you scored that! Only found 1 in years of hunting, they seem difficult to stumble on around here. Keep it up! 8)
