I finally found my first large cent this morning. I was detecting my 1800’s homestead, which I have detected almost daily for two years, and I found my oldest coin to date. An 1847 largie!!! Such a good day!!! She was 8-10 inches down, below two old square nails. I could hear a repeatable high tone, but not a great one. I dug and there it was.
Thank you Black Bart for reminding me on YouTube to share it over here. ✌🏼❤️😊🍀

I really love that coin! Something about the braided hair largies, last one I found rang up a 93 on my VDI a number I never saw before, nice job!
 

Congrats on a great looking coin. I have been lucky enough to find a small number of LCs; however, most of them are in a very delicate condition with a flaking patina. Yours looks crisp and real solid. Again, congrats on a terrific coin. Hope you find another one soon.

Nice coin 👍
 

Now isn't just Wondaful!
That's a real beauty for being your first, and off your own property how cool is that.
Congrats on the sweet looking LC.
 

OhioMetalMaven you forgot to post the GPS coordinates to the place you found that largie :) LOL
