Found my second large cent, second within 2 days

[WVExplorer]

Have been digging old beer cans and pull tabs all day. Finally went back to the field where I dug my first LC two days ago. Within 5-10 feet I dug another one. Haven’t cleaned it up enough to identify it yet but the last was a Braided hair Liberty.

Dug this about 30 minutes ago

Man. Didn’t know what it was like until 2 days ago. Oldest coin until now was like a 1942 silver quarter.

This one appears to be 1856. Will post a cleaned picture soon

The LC was withdrawn from circulation in 1857 so your coin only circulated a year. Should be some good detail left. Gary

Nice L.C. !

From what I've seen - if there was two on the site - there could be more !

Congrats it's always a great day when you find a large cent. That one looks pretty decent compared to what I've seen come out of the ground! Nice work!

Thanks and good to know. I only used a toothpick to clean it up. It was in considerably better shape than the 1st one I dug. It’s a shame for the first one, looked like the date may have been 1821

That’s a nice one! Pound that spot, low and slow, listen for the high tone squeak. Congrats

You’ll find one. I’ve been at it hard for a couple of weeks now due to all of the covid-19 restrictions.
