My first bust coin!!

[relic lover]

I finally got out to see if the ghost town I found on my maps is really there and it was cellar hole city! Public land to boot so no issues there. It was a real dump (literally) so I headed for a foundation across the stream and far from litter bug road. found flat buttons then a shankless tombac then this beauty (beauty to me anyway). It has a clear date out of the earth but it had a severe concretion on the front my cleaning revealed her head and the fact that there was no patina under the corrosion cauliflower but I am thrilled with her appearance considering. By the way it t was only 1/2 inch deep I was sure it was fake or something at first! She is a 1798 draped bust large cent and I love her

about blew ur ears off i bet sweet LC!!!! MR TUFF

Actually The signal was broken up pretty good there was a big hunk of iron with it that caused the concretion which had rust still in it. The signal was so poor that I passed it over on my first pass then once I had more of the weeds trampled down I ran into it again and decided to dig. I always scrape the leaves away with my foot before I pinpoint and there it was I never even got down to dig I just bent over and picked it up figuring it was modern junk boy was I wrong it is my first 1700s American coin!

Thats so Awesome! I have a hard time getting into the 1800's I rarely do that! Haven't yet this year... :-( now the 1700's... is just amazing... great job!
