Found another first for me. I call her Large Marge!

Got a new permission the other day. Finally had a break in my busy schedule and trucked on over to the yard. I began by hitting the curb strip and wasn't disappointed!
It came up on the AT Pro as a solid 90-91 at around 4 inches. Dug the plug and out popped a big coin-shaped disk. Rubbed off enough dirt to see the One Cent on the reverse...and I was super stoked! My first Large Cent!! After a little more cleaning I could make out an 1853 with the slanted 5.
A little later, I plucked a 1942 Merc and a few Wheaties!

The Walker was found a couple weeks ago but threw her in just 'cause.
Thanks for reading and happy hunting!

Nice! And congrats..I have to ask though, all of my Largies rang up in the quarter range on my ATP...around 84-86...did you re-check your plug? There might have been a surprise silver hiding in there! 90-91 screams large silver...Way to go on your finds...now get back there and retrieve your silver! Lol...ddf

Yeah, I thought that was weird too. I did check the hole afterwards and didn't have anything else indicating. Went back with my son and he found a few Wheaties and his first silver dime (46 Rosie). I think he was hooked after finding it!

Congrats on your first LC. Quite shocking to see your first big copper come out of the hole.

I was so shocked when I dug my first, I collected my gear, and just went home!

I hope that many more are in your future. Congrats to the boy too!
