This site is nothing special but something told me to keep going back. Pretty positive there are more there too. The ground was just to tough to dig with my hand shovel so I need to go back with a bigger shovel!

Exciting time for you! The first of many treasures.
Funny how the old cent is bigger than the modern 25 cents.

Congratulations on your first old coin! It's a great feeling when you see that large copper disc in the hole.
Hope there are many more to follow! Keep us all updated.

Nice one. Don't put any water on it, it only makes it worse. Try toothpicking the high spots to get a date or at least to find out what type it is. Congrats!

A big congrats on finding your oldest coin - a day you'll never forget for sure !
They stopped minting Large Cents in 1857.

Be careful - you can easily ruin old Copper coins if you clean them the wrong way !
As I've mentioned to others I gotten very good results cleaning old Copper coins with "Andre's Pencils".
They are very inexpensive and there's some good YouTube video's showing how they bring out detail on coins.
