sharing what I found after less than 5 minutes of swinging my machine. so I went back to the place where I found my oldest Wheatie last week. back in my place weather is getting fall-like after continues raining. yesterday it was sunny so I went back to that demolished house built in 1890 (thanks Nectar Detector for that awesome site finding location).
I was just warming up and this Large Cent beep higher than a quarter at 92-93 with only 4" depth. it seems like this was under a foundation of a garage separate from the house.

Congrats on your L.C. The Hubby found our first one yesterday, but yours is a few years older. Gotta love those suprises from the dirt! : ) Good luck on future hunts
 
thanks guys. isn't it amazing 3 of us here finding these LCs on a weekend and dates are closer...
yes LC sounds like quarter!
 
I found one today also. I have it soaking in olive oil right now, it looks like it has a lot of detail but the date was hard to read but I think it says 1838. Congrats.
