I just found my very 1st LARGE CENT!!!!!!

[treasurefiend]

This hunt was on 4/18/09. Me and my buds went back out to the woods to look for some oldies, well we started finding a lot of coins in an area where some 4x4's had rutted up the place. Later we decided to try out another spot that was rumored to have an old tavern (bar) back in the day and the building was torn down about 100 years ago. Well once there it took me maybe 10 min until I got my first target, it was my 1st Large Cent. then I found an IH 1891, then an old Civil War ere general service button.

It was getting late so we started to head back to our first site so we could get a few more coins then call it a day. The LC is toasted and I couldn't get a date off of it but it is a Matron LC, I can tell because on the reverse it has a line under the letters EN in cents and the Braided LC's don't have that feature. So its between 1816 - 1839!!!!

My finds:
Large Cent dateless Matron 1816 - 1839
1891 Indian Head penny
2 Buffalo nickels 1936 & 1 dateless)
Jefferson nickels from the 40's
1 War Nickel (my only silver for the day)
3 religious charms
2 marbles
1 Army CW era general service cuff button (small size of a nickel)
