Old farm had several large cents

[SilverCoinHound]

Farm dates to 1800. We only found large cents, 6 total and not much of anything else.

Is this New England or NY....long ago on another detector forum, a guy from New Hampshire I think, always posted for encouragement, "there is always a large copper in any farm field".
I can't get out anymore but I miss the woods and corn fields. Didn't matter if it was just a button or whatever. Nice pics!

Might be true, we were wondering where all the silver went! New York farm

 

[CTwoods]

I almost never found any silver at early cellar holes or fields that were abandoned in the 1800s. This was poverty parts of the state back then, they had little to lose.
Only one cornfield gave a 1926 Mercury and my only Spanish, a 1726 half reale. I didn't have my glasses and thought it was 1950s aluminum play money because they're so thin and cheap feeling. 200 years apart.

Well done on the early LCs. Congrats

Nice....for me out here? I can only wish I could one day say, "I only found 6 large cents, not much of anything else". Oh....when you wish upon a star..........

Can confirm, found this 1828 Large Cent a few days ago in a CT field, nothing else out there besides bullets, barbed wire, and horse shoes.

Great day out! I agree with CTWoods, most early farmers were very poor. Over the years I've averaged about 1 Spanish or early American silver (seated or earlier) for every 10 coppers. Many sites will give up quite a few coppers but no silver no matter how much I pound them.

Great pictures, Great finds you did outstanding

My bet is all silver was detected years ago. Those where tuff to find on old machines unlike silver.
