Large cents
A rising sun hat badge (a badge worn by AIF soldiers during both world wars), platinum rings and 50c coins are my top three.
Keep searching, I went 7 years before finding first LC, found 2nd one week later 20 miles away. The first one is the hardest. HH Jerry
Large cents
To hear you’ve never dug a large cent is almost unbelievable. For corns sake you’ve dug everything else!
They were long out of circulation before anybody moved to this area to start a town (all newer than 1890s). Even the oldest military/chisolm trails around me are too new (1870s) to have seen a largie unless someone happened to lose their lucky coin.
I've dug lots of Indians, so I'm still hopeful for an FE, 2c and trime
I’ve yet to find a pine tree shilling, gold coins, cob, large cent, trime, shield nickel, flying eagle cent, large cent, the list goes on and on and on!
Hey, I’m turning 46 this year so there’s still some time...
I know you said somewhat common so I’ll add, I could really use some platinum.
