Never in a million years...

Hi All-

Took advantage of a beautiful day to get out detecting with my new XP Deus. I'm still a newbie with this machine, and working hard to better understand its infinite setting. Today I was using the #5 pre-set program, " G-MAXX".
This particular program seems to suit my preferred hunting locations ( off road, deep woods). About an hour into the hunt, I got a slamm'n "90" VDI. After digging down only about 4 inches, I pulled out a large cent. This was a nice surprise:



A quick re-scan of the hole told me there was something else there...Out pops another large cent! Scanned it again, and still another signal, and another large cent! I'm in shock that I just pulled three large cents out of the same hole.



After some gentle tooth -picking, they revealed themselves to be 1798 draped bust large cents ( at least two of them for sure). I couldn't be more thrilled! I have never found more than one large cent at one time before. To find three in the same day, and in the same hole...pretty freak'n amazing.





Thanks for taking a look!. I think Spring is finally here, so get out there and get busy! HH!

I'm not sure which obverse goes with which reverse in the photos, but one of the obverses has "style 1" hair and the other two have "style 2". It looks like one of the reverses is the "reverse of 1795" and the other two are "reverse of 1797". You might have a scarce variety - best of luck!

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. I had a difficult uploading the pics, and probably got them in the wrong sequence with the " up close" shots.
Special thanks to SueDoanim for your observations about the potential scarce variety. I have done a little more light cleaning, and will take another look at them.
I wish everyone a very relaxing and productive weekend of detecting! HH!

Now THAT is the way to do it. Three oldies in the same hole. Congrats on a cool dig and great memory.
