My first large cent 1847 amongst other great coins

[borntohunt460]

I finally found some virgin ground and found a 1847 large cent, a 1867 shield nickel, 1901 Indian, 1902 Indian, 1909 wheat, 1938 tire dealer token, 1916 wheat, 1942 wheat and a large flat button. All this was found within 25 minutes. I've had such a dry spell lately it was killing me! The large and the shield are firsts for me. All coins were found 6 inches or shallower. They were found at a house built in the 1860s. I'm really excited to go back and hopefully find some silver coinage Also do you think my large cent would be a candidate for peroxide cleaning or olive oil, or just toothpick. It looks like the detail is all still there and so far it's just been rinsed Thanks for looking !!!

You found some great coins. It's exciting to think you're the first to hunt an area, isn't it?

Those coins are in good shape. Unless you have a key date I would pop them in hot peroxide once or twice and rub some baking soda on them. follow up with a little olive oil and you are going to see some great detail

Looks Like Caked On Dirt. I Bet They Will Look great After A Hot Peroxide Treatment. Give Us Some ''After cleaning'' Pics If You Decide To Clean Them Up!

Here is the large cent cleaned up so far. I did this using just a toothpick and nose oil Also found a 1859 Indian at the same spot today

I had a guy stop when he saw me and apparently he metal detects too. He said that he was gonna come back and see if he could find some stuff I missed.

Guess I have a timeline to really clean it out. Havent found a silver coin there yet
