My First Large Cent

[kdbarker]

I didn’t have a lot of enthusiasm for the site I was metal detecting at the time… It was near a library in the middle of a city.
This 1817 Large Cent was found 6 inches down and 6 inches away from the corner of a NEW side walk. I would have never believed it if I had not dug it out of the ground myself.

Wow, that IS in great shape. Super sweet find. I haven't found one in awhile now, but my heart skips a beat every time I do. I think I'm about due for one again. I think I'll find one this weekend.
