Living large!

[CarsonChris]

Got a big surprise today! Swinging the Nox and get a VDI of 17. I kneel down and dig about 4” periodically checking the hole as I go. Sound disappears so I check the little pile I scooped out. Sweep a little dirt off and find an old IHP. Sweep the dirt back into the hole. Stand up make a sweep of the Nox over the hole I just dug. Get a jumpy 26-30 signal. Oh boy, not sure what I’ve got. Dig the loose dirt out of the hole again and dig a little deeper. Get a beep with the pointer a little deeper. Dig out some more and see something large pop out. Not shiny. Pick it up and see the One Cent on back! My first large cent! Woohoo a bucketlister!

Nice hit, I was wondering what large cents show on the 800.

CONGRATULATIONS!! From the threads over the years- I’ve come to realize largies out West are quite rare! Well done sir!

Good on a large cent in the west! I'm still hunting for one in Wyoming. Looks like the soils were kind to it.

It was jumpy 26-30. I think it was on edge. 30/31 out of the hole.
