Large Cent #3 from hay field !!! I am on a roll !!

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Hit the field again today for a few hours and who could have guessed that I would find Large Cent #3
How many more are out there? Will I find any old silver?

This one is pretty smooth. I can see just a little detail and I am guessing that it is a Classic Head.
I also am adding a pic of the other treasures for the day.
More cleaned up pics later.....

Get out there & find some of that old silver!! Good luck to ya!

 

[jgas]

Yep, looks like a classic head. Congrats, I bet when you clean that up you will get a date.. Let us know what ya got...I am guessing....1812! jgas

 

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Here are a few more pics....
I am sure that it is a Classic Head. The date wont be showing up on this one but who cares.
If I am correct , not many of these get posted. Short life for the Classic Head with low numbers minted.
If it couldnt be another Draped Bust I am happy that it is a Classic

Those Classic Heads were made of inferior copper. They usually don't hold up very well after 200 years in the soil. You are lucky to be able to see any detail at all.

Nice going!

Sounds like a great field you're hunting. I'll bet you can't wait to get back out there.

Congrats on finding one of the rare large cents. Like Neil said they were inferior metal so they don't hold up well. I did manage to find one of the half cents though.You did great again my man.

Here are a few more pics. The small brass piece that BuckleBoy requested a close up of is part of some kind of box? All of these pieces came from within a few feet of each other.

I have this week off from work to deer hunt and Metal Detect. Wish me MORE luck !!

way to go on #3...im looking for my first still...

 

[Ohio Jerry]

Nice job on # 3 VPR!!! last two pics looks like a daguerreotype picture frame. What ya think Buckleboy?

 

[BuckleBoy]

Could very well have been a picture frame box, Jerry. Thanks for the pics, Packrat. Same style (one hinged end with an iron pin, and the other end blunt with a single hole.) I think the two pieces my buddy and you found were from the same type of item.

Daguerrotype case sounds good to me.


Cheers,


Buckles
