That's amazing! I'd love to find just one...congrats!
What a hunt... 29 large cents which all appear to be draped busts, and 2 half cents which are also DB's.... all found in a 20x20 area in the woods. Still more out there too... I've checked 5 largies and the 2 half cents and only got a date off of one large cent and one half cent so far. 1801 on the half, and 1802 on the large. How many do you think will have dates? Also, how many do you think will be draped bust? I will reveal the answers later tonight as well as some close ups. Sorry, not sorry Tom
Brad of Green mountain metal detecting on youtube in Vermont rarely fails to find large cents when hunting home sites and cellar holes in the Green mountains. Here in North Atlanta, silver and civil war relics are more the norm when found which is rarely for me. His sites date back to the 1700's so he even finds English silver coins.East Coast lies. Plain and simple. Repent.

You guys are just bumping this up to annoy Tom! Give the guy a break! But I guess this post will bump it up as well! Sorry, Tom!
I am east of the Mississippi River but never seen many (if any reports of anyone finding a LC in metro Atlanta or even North Georgia). I may be wrong, maybe someone will chime in and report on LC's being found in Georgia.well sure . What did you expect ? Vermont is east of the Mississippi. Hence "east coast". Hence Brad is a member of the east coast liars club. So .... what is surprising about this ?
Heck, he's probably even going to say he finds them in every sandbox at school yards, blah blah blah. But in reality, he's showing you the same 4 or 5 cotton picking LC's over and over and over. The evidence is : Haven't you noticed that they all look eerily similar ? I mean, what are the odds ! Hence proof that they're the same cotton picking coins. I'm not fooled. Tsk tsk
Maxxkatt I agree that you don't see many LCs posted that were dug in GA or the Carolinas. The sweet spot for coppers seems to be between Maine and Virginia.I am east of the Mississippi River but never seen many (if any reports of anyone finding a LC in metro Atlanta or even North Georgia).

For the east coast seaboard states, The northern states are known for being better coin hunting. That was more of the industrial belt and more affluent back in the day. The southern states were more agriculture and not as affluent.
I have a buddy here who flies back east, gets a rental car, and spends a week or so each year doing nothing but hunting town commons, courthouse lawns, old parks, etc.... And in his experience, the upper northern east coast states are better, for coin hunting. At least for turf. But I guess the same would apply to cellar hole logic. Not sure how it affects CW relic hunting though. Guess that would depend on where most of the fighting was.
Tom, you are right about north and south. I live in the the suburbs of North Atlanta. Until about late 1978 this was all rural farmland and has been farm land or forests since the Indians were removed from Georgia in the "Trail of Tears" disaster for the Indians. That was around 1834 or so. They divided up the former Indian territory into 40 acre land lots and held a lottery to give out the acreage. But I do have a couple of dozen area where I can legally hunt civil war relics, so I ma not complaining. We all have to hunt areas that are available to us. Rattlehead recently found a sweet US Box plate. Now that is really a rare find these days.For the east coast seaboard states, The northern states are known for being better coin hunting.
