I got out this morning for a quick 1 hour hunt. I went to the old local park thats been around since the late 1700s. Although I know its been hit plenty of times by many people, I am the only person with permission to detect it |:cheering: I went into the woods and this was my first target. Looks like it has the word LIBERTY on top? Maybe a 1700s Large Cent.

Hey that's nice! :clapping: Can you clean it up any more to see more detail?

I bet Del/Dan or HeavyMetalNut the cellarhole guys will know what it is :yes:

Hey Steve, thats an oldie eace:. Large cents had LIBERTY over the bust up to 1807. Its looks like it my be one of these 2 types:

Sweet find. Congrats thumbsup01

 

[sandals]

yep, love that place too....always liked going there with you....there is still stuff waiting there for you

hey Steve rotate the coin about 90 degrees clock-wise ...

it looks like maybe a Connecticut or Vermont copper , i can see part of the lady holding the staff and LIB .

UPDATE

this looks like your reverse note the star design before the word LIB and the flower design after . theres only a few 1788 Connecticut's coppers that have this so yours is an E reverse but theres 4 different obverses that could match up but atleast you know what it is and the year Steve.

LIST OF VARIETIES IT COULD ONLY BE
Miller 7-E.
Miller 9-E.
Miller 12.1-E.
Miller 12.2-E.
