Large Surprise

[Bhodge]

So today I was hunting at a house where I've been before thinking it might have one or more goodies left. I was right. In a spot where I've been over several times I found this.
My first large cent 1845!

Bhodge... From what I have experienced, those old sites will give up something every now and then, so as long as you have permission to keep going back, do it. Sweep in different directions, different weather etc... Awesome job on your first Largie!!

Your 1845 looks better than mine. But I sure won't complain!

 

[PaDirtDigger]

Great coin... Maybe they were minted one after the other! Like brothers or sisters rather.... :-) :-)
