First US large cent!!!

[EdHartzel]

My feet are still thawing out as I write this- just had to share the news! This morning I recovered my first US large cent and it’s an 1800 Draped Bust. I was certain I was about to pull a silver quarter out of the hole with the way the Equinox was screaming! 6” in decent soil. Not the greatest details but obviously identifiable with a discernable year! First large, and oldest US to date! Man I am proud! This hobby is so much fun!!!! Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting all!!

Truth! You run an Equinox too- according to thismorning, if you sweep over one, you’ll know it! Banging solid 27 at 6”.

Awesome find! And it’s not just any old matron head Cent either. It’s a full on draped bust. Nice! I’ve found a couple foreign large cents from the 1800s but not one from the US yet. Well done!

Congrats on your first Large Cent.
