    I recovered a nice keeper today,,,

    Hello all...

    I've not been out much lately... but I got out to a colonial house that I've hit 4-5 in the past...

    I gridded an area that I let my feet wander in last time here... This paid off with 1 nice copper and 5 wheaties...

    1803 Draped Bust US Large Cent... This was a 5 target that was only missed because I did not get my coil over it before... :-)

    Here is was fresh out of the ground...

    [attachimg=3]

    I only dry brushed this coin and put on a light coat of Renaissance Wax...

    [attachimg=2]

    HH All !!

    Paul

    Draped Bust is such a pretty coin. I can only imagine what one looked like brand new. Great find. She cleanes up nicely considering her age lol
