FIRST large cent in 13 years of detecting!! Then another! Then another!

[SaginawIan]

Got a totally solid 85 signal at 5" deep on the F75 at a very old homesite. I thought, yeah, right - it's probably a clad quarter. Then all at once one of my big goals was fulfilled - bam! Large cent! I call my friend over and we give a couple of high fives. He reminds me to check the hole again. Well, I get another 85 signal - kind of weak. I dig - then bam! Another large cent! They were likely dropped together a long time ago.

I walk about 5 feet away and there is another signal - and another large copper. This one looks to be a king george copper that's basically wasted - however, it's another first for me and I love it just the same!

Too bad these are pretty much toast - any idea if they can be cleaned? Peroxide? I want to be very careful to not ruin them any more than mother nature already has.

great finds!! As far as cleaning your LC's they look to fragile!!! I wouldnt dare soak it in peroxide,you will probably end up regretting looking at a total blank disk.Leave well enough alone

Great finds there! I'll bet someone had a hole in their pocket many years ago. Back then, 3 cents were a fortune.
