Key date Matron saves the day

[RelicMedic]

Got out for a bit this morning before work. It was really slow going...for me anyways. While I was scouring the shoreline, my buddy dug an 1800s ring with a stone. It looks heavily gold plated but still a nice find. Then he digs an indian and gold enameled military pin. I should have stayed up by the cellar lol. I joined him and dug a 1909 LC. We moved sites, and found a few things. Pewter button and pewter spoon, a pouch full of grommets then finally, a one way tone mixed with iron. I dug a flat piece of iron and a few nails out of the hole before I scooped out a green disk. A quick cleaning revealed a US large cent. It ended up being a beautiful key date 1825 Matron. Pretty pleased that I wasnt skunked lol
