Hit a woods spot this morning that had a home that dates to the 1840's. Dug the '45 merc and then a few minutes later got a large cent (can't get a date). Next few minutes get another 80 VDI and dig another large cent, pretty toasted but I think I can make out a bust facing left. Can't be sure on this one
, back is smooth with some marks that look like it was hit with something. Any one have a guess? Thanks, Mike

Nice hunt Mike ! I think the one in question is a large. I found one that looked very similar as far as wear and coloration. I eventually could pull a 7 off of it and a few details and figured out it was a 1837. Mine had the worn flat side too.
Oh yeah! [img width=44 height=55]http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r211/goatrancher/Smileys/Old.gif[/img] Well take this!
the very first pic the coin on the left something tells me draped bust.willy
Try putting a piece of paper over it and do an etching with a crayon on it's side. I have been able to pull details of what appears to be a flat coin with this mthod.
Great finds
