7 COPPER DAY! 1793 CHAIN CENT!

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

I don't even know where to start :dontknow: Frank picked me up & we headed back to a cellar hole that produced last time there (Roger got 2 nice Ct coppers ,frank got a nova constellatio & i dug a Ct & a 1722 french coin.
Today was no exception :shocked04: right off the bat Ct's started poppin, then a 1793 chain cent! a few more coppers.frank got a KG then i got the shoe buckle.after hours there we decided to hit another site we just eyeballed on side of road.another shoe buckle this one being iron and a 1807 draped bust LC. what a day! :sleepy:
kinda afraid to clean this chain cent anymore.has blackish gritty gunk on it.any suggestions or should i submit this to be professionally cleaned and slabbed?
also frank dug this cannonball.could this thing be live?notice the hole in center?
so all in all i dug 3 CT coppers,1 draped bust,1 chain cent & 2 smoothies.the 1793 is the rarer variety with AMERI in legend.

Dave!! Thats one for the books!! Way to go, I have never seen a chain cent, only in guides. Nice job on cleaning those beauties up. Looks like you will be hitting that place alot harder next time. Got to love those clumsy colonials!! rofl

Great hunt Dave, Happy Hunting!!

Absolutely an AMAZING find! Congratulations to you Dave on the find of a lifetime, incredible!

[Tony Two-Cent]

Some people metal detect to find relics, some to find jewelry, some to find war artifacts, etc.

Myself, I get my kicks from coins, especially US coins, and that 1793 Chain Cent is the stuff dreams are made of! Talk about the pinnacle of US coins! All I can say is WOW!

Fantastic CHAIN CENT find !

As I scanned your post I noticed my breathing getting heavier as I imagined the excitement within you when you realized what you had and again when you saw the results of your cleaning efforts.
Unbeliveable, isn't it.

Thanks for the numerous pictures especially the ones of the CHAIN CENT after your final cleaning.

Did you get goose bumps on your arms when you realized what you had in your hands?
Did you ever imagine that you would be smiling at your own chain cent? Was it a top ten on your wish list?

Congratulation!,

Thanks Bob! the chain cent was never on my wishlist as I never thought about the possiblity to dig one being so rare. a nova constellatio was really on my wishlist,along with a heraldic eagle or draped bust silver. i got goosebumps when i opened the redbook and saw the prices though
