Went detecting for a little bit by a newly discovered site of mine, and didn't pull anything until about an hour into the hunt. I was hunting by the outskirts of the site and I hit a solid and repeatable 95 at 7", I knew what I had as soon as I got the signal. I dug down 8" and sure enough I pulled a 1841 Braided Hair LC, in good shape too.

About a foot away I hit a 85, 86 nice and solid like the first signal, dug down around 10" and pulled a 1802 Draped Bust Large Cent.

Those are two wonderful coins, Sam! If I ever found a Draped Bust Large Cent I would keel over from excitement! Just think, 212 years old! That was a terrific coin spill!

:congrats:

Great finds. I have never gotten a reading in the 90's on my ATP. Low 80's are dimes and mid-80's are quarters. I think I would have a heart attack if I found a 200 year old coin. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Excellent finds. Like Tony, any Draped Bust copper would make my day. There might be more, go back. :congrats:

Congrats on the nice finds. A little work and perhaps you can get more of the verdigris of the braided hair LC.
