Got out this evening for about an hour and went to an old house that has only produced one flat button. I'm glad I didn't give up! It's kinda crusty but is soaking in olive oil as we speak!

Congrats on the 1831 Large Cent! That is a terrific find!
I have to say that I haven't had any luck cleaning coppers with olive oil, but maybe different soil conditions produce different results.
Way to sniff out a coin that is 184 years old!!!
