Good afternoon everyone, ACOJoe, Cheffer, and I checked out a spot in the Hilltowns this morning. After quite the hike, we came to a spot that has produced large cents for us in the past. I was running my XP Deus in 25 kHz looking to light up the mid conductors. Before long I got a faint but repeatable 81. I dig, and out pops an 1863 fatty IHP. No more than 20 yards away I get a solid 96 and out pops a nice 1830 large cent. I got back on the trail, walked a few yards, and found the sterling silver moon which is actually pretty nice.

Not pictured is the pile of clad coins that I found as well. Our spots are weird in that we’ve literally found zincolns right next to colonial coppers! Thanks for looking, good luck, and happy hunting!
