Headed out for a hunt this evening, and I lucked out and dug some old pennies in some weedy area. I was quite surprised to find 2 large cents. They aren't in the best of shape, but you can still read the dates. I have them soaking in some oil presently, to see if I can get some of that turquoise copper oxide off without pitting the coins.

The large cents make beautiful coin-rings as shown below. I made these last winter to beat the blues......

Congrats on adding 2 more to the collection. Your rings are lovely! What do you do with them all? There are members here who have asked about having one made. You could start a side business if you wanted. Good luck on future hunts. : )
 
Guess in need to find a patch of weeds instead of all the old homes I'm hunting now. Congrats on the larges.
