scored a keeper from the hunted out park

hollowpointred · Oct 12, 2008

got out this morning to this park i have been hunting lately. it dates back to the mid 1800s but good finds are reeeeal scarce. this place has been pounded over the years but its so big that i find it impossible that everything has been found. this morning i proved my theory correct with this 1846 Large Cent. it was smack dab in the middle of a huge field. it was a solid good signal, only about 4 inches down. i guess in that big old field no one before ever got their coil over this spot. I'm pretty certain there is a lot of stuff still in that field. i also found a little bell that looks like it must have been around a small farm animals neck at one time. anyway. this morning was a pretty good one. :thumbsup:

Great find! 1846 is pretty early! What you say about large fields is true, people hunt for hot spots, and just don't cover the whole field.

Way to go HPR!!! :thumbsup:

A super coin indeed. It always amazes me when folks on TN find these old coins out in the middle of fields. Like a needle in a haystack.
Congrats,

I would love to find one of these but I think the chance are slim in my part of the country. Where are you?
Also congrats in finding this on public grounds which have no doubt been searched before. I tend to worry about the trash/ recent dropped items ration compared to oldies when searching parks and schools but yours is an amzing find to the contrary.
