The 1823 house finally gives up some history

[tymcmurray]

At sunrise this morning civilman and I got to the
1823 home I've hunt for a couple of months here
and there. I got no wheats and only one silver in
the past there.
Civil started out hittin' the wheats and cool whatsits.
It was not looking good for me. I was getting a bit
frustrated when I pulled out a cool old drawer pull.
We have not hit the barn because of the growth.
Waiting for fall. I decided to break off and head for
the barn.I found my first wheat on the way. With a
little burst I was ready for something good.
I got a signal between a dime and a quarter. I'll take
it. Dug a nice size plug.....nothing.....still in the hole.
I grabbed a handful from the bottom and saw the quarter.
It seemed a little big.................OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
It was a large cent. 183?. My first 1800 and my first
large cent.

WHAT A RUSH!!!

I came up with one more wheat, 1917.
THAT was a great day for me!

Wow, great Large Cent and in great condition too. Yep, when your hunting an old area and the signal jumps between dime and quarter at 4 or 5 inches deep, there's a good chance it's a large cent. You know, that's the beauty and the rush of MDing, when the target your recover totally blows away what you were expecting it to be. Now get back to that barn, and if there's any surrounding fields or woods, do them too!

Nice LC there Ty!

WTG!!!

Dontcha just love that shotgun brass and those zinc Mason jar lids They drive me nuts because the shotgun brass reads like a fatty IH on my machine and well, I know when I hit a mason lid but I just can't resist digging them in the hopes that someday one will be screwed on top of a jar full of coins.

Congrats again on the nice LC!

Thanks for all of the comments and advice everyone.
I did clean up the date area and found it to be 1836.
I can't wait to get back to the barn and the field next
door used to be an orchard in the 1800's. It's about
100 acres.
