My first large cent

[sgratrider]

My oldest coin to date. Several weeks ago that would have been that 3 cent piece. But this appears to be 1831. Starting to get the hang of this new machine i purchased from Mike. Finding things like this make it even better ! Odd thing is this was found on my brother's property. This land was part of a picnic park into maybe the 1960's or so. Why this coin was there i have no idea. Was found by a large tree. Somebody taking a break in the shade in earlier times i suppose.

Thanks you all. Mfitzzy, its an etrac. i used to use my excal on land , i love it, it does well, but is hard around nails and such. This etrac is pulling stuff with nails in the hole. It is seeming to come together a little better now. Again, thanks and good luck all.

Have an e-trac and an excal---Gave my son the e-trac to use around an old farm house and I used the excal---found my first and only--so far--large cent--1817--in pretty good shape. I like the excal as a dirt machine--just have to get usd to it... Thanks for the good news and good luck on future hunts

Congrats on the Old copper
The Etrac will grab targets near the iron, slow and steady work will get you those signals! Best Digs
