LC Spill in Woods

[Sam]

Went detecting for a little bit by a newly discovered site of mine, and didn't pull anything until about an hour into the hunt. I was hunting by the outskirts of the site and I hit a solid and repeatable 95 at 7", I knew what I had as soon as I got the signal. I dug down 8" and sure enough I pulled a 1841 Braided Hair LC, in good shape too.

About a foot away I hit a 85, 86 nice and solid like the first signal, dug down around 10" and pulled a 1802 Draped Bust Large Cent.

Two great coins you dug there.

Very cool! Copper pocket spills will always get the blood flowing !

 

[Beartoe]

That's a nice spill. I am glad you were able to rescue the coins. :thumbsup01:

Two great coins you dug there.

Thanks! GL & HH

That's a nice spill. I am glad you were able to rescue the coins. :thumbsup01:

Thanks! They were definitely unexpected finds.

Very cool! Copper pocket spills will always get the blood flowing !

Thanks a lot! Gotta agree with you there.

Those are two wonderful coins, Sam! If I ever found a Draped Bust Large Cent I would keel over from excitement! Just think, 212 years old! That was a terrific coin spill!

:congrats:

Great finds. I have never gotten a reading in the 90's on my ATP. Low 80's are dimes and mid-80's are quarters. I think I would have a heart attack if I found a 200 year old coin. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Excellent finds. Like Tony, any Draped Bust copper would make my day. There might be more, go back. :congrats:

 

[Mr. Digger]

Congrats on two great coins...awesome that you could pull dates off both too!

Nice spill Sam. Glad to see you get some old coinage

Very nice, congrats on the pair, WTG.

WTG Sam on the LC! Always nice to see them in the hole.

 

[BTV Digger]

Congrats on the nice finds. A little work and perhaps you can get more of the verdigris of the braided hair LC.
