Two Large Cents

Life Is Good · Nov 22, 2009

I had a chance to get with my nephew and brother-in-law Mach One and our friends Bedford Bob and his son-in-law. My Dad even made it out to try out his new Infinium.

We met up at the site of the old 1800s tavern that Mach One has been keeping you all up to date on.

My ACE 250 actually out did the big boys today, with their E-Tracs. :laughing7:

I was starting to feel left out the last couple of weeks. They have been getting all the great finds. :icon_thumleft:

Well today I dug two large cents. :hello2:

They are in poor condition.
The first one can only be identified by the size and it being copper.
The second one I found has some detail, but it's tough to see.

I'd say it was a good day

Thanks for looking

Way to go. Sometimes the big machine have bad days. I'm still looking to find the biggies. Only good thing I found this year was a few mercs and roseies. But pretty much went to places that been hunted. Hoping next year to get to some of those old places not there no more.

Yep, the rest of us got skunked.

I am so happy to see my brother in law (LIG) get a few goodies... even if it means he has me beat in the Large cent category right now... :wink:

It was easy to see the discouragement setting in... which appears to be gone now! :hello2:

Now he has to catch up on half cents, half dimes, and silver 3 centers... + buttons.

When I looked at the coin on the right of his pictures, it appeared to be a draped bust, :icon_thumright:

but the year was not legible.

The other coin was worn so thin I don't think anything would bring out an ID on it...

Man, Mach1, sounds like you guys are rough on him :P

Don't worry, LIG, a lot of stuff is in the 1 to 6 inch range, well within the capability of your Ace.

A friend who hunted one of my sites with his BH cleaned out just about all the coins. Even though I far outdid him on relics (especially deeper ones), it took me 2 years to find a single old coin that he missed (one IH, on edge at 6"), because the coins had all been less than 6 inches deep. The guy was simply very, very good with his machine.
