Large Cent from hammered spot in the woods

[doninbrewster]

My coil stopped working the other day. I was talking with Don and Carol, members of my club and they both have CTX's also and they had 2 17" loops. They said they rarely use both of them and might want to sell one and offered to let me try it out. I picked it up and decided to give it a try after dinner last night. I went to a spot that I had pounded and also brought 5 other people to detect at. Last time I was there with Don and Carol none of us found anything. It's been a great spot and produced seated quarters, a seated half dollar, Indians and a half dozen LC's. I figured maybe the 17" loop might help. It did. I was there about 45 minutes and get a digable signal and low and behold, out pops an 1846 large cent. It was pretty close to a small sapling and I couldn't even get the loop flat on the ground, but it was a signal worth digging. It was just about dark as you can tell from the picture taken at the site, but I plan on going back to see what else I can pull. I guess I'll be buying this loop from them.







I cleaned it up a bit and I think it looks better.

Great LC! Isn't it sweet when you go back to a place you already hit, try some new equipment and score! Congrats!

Nice catch!

I think it had less to do with the coil and more to do with the swing man - you dug whereas most would have shrugged it away!

BUT...that coil is both lucky and now you're forever bonded. Lol.
