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!! BA8A1183-9598-4E12-8257-A14C2BD13B72.webp29F5B222-B3DE-4BF1-A5C8-94C6B0391B77.webpAB4EFBF8-0B28-4376-BFC3-3DAAE3AA576D.webp

Big congrats on the oldie.
 
Sweet old LC. That is an oldie, they usually pop out as Matron or Braided around my parts. Congrats

I agree with this. Hard to find those early ones! Congrats and nice save!
 
Congrats Ed! My only LC came out of a park in York, PA. Couldn't make out the date on mine.
 
Congrats! I hope to find one myself someday... Noce job!
 
Congrats on the awesome save, you will never forget your first, guaranteed
 
You should be so proud of yourself I’ll been looking for the white whale forever and ever and ever amen
 
That’s great. Good job.
 
Great coin! Hope you find many more.
 
Congrats! Still remember my first one.
