So the unbelievable happened to me today.... I was detecting the yard of a early 1900s house today and I got a solid 27-28 on the Nox and I was thinking had to be a Rosie....it was better!! The Nox said 6 inches but this thing was only 3-4 inches deep.... a freaking Matron Head Large Cent!!! My first large cent and it comes from a residential yard!! Looks dateless but I swear if I hold it just right I see 1827! I’m in utter disbelief and shock!! I can’t believe it, I don’t know why or how it got there but it’s mine now!! I almost didn’t go out because it was storming pretty good about a mile east of me and there was constant thunder and lightning..... but I did get a awesome rainbow pic....

Damn Tapatalk i uploaded pics, but when I check from computer or my Kindle, they are not there but when I checked from my iPhone they were there.....so I added them again
 
They are pretty decent pic's Digger and we all need to see them twice anyway. Congrats on you first Big Penny. Hope it will be followed with a lot more in the future. Trapper
 
Great find OD! If you try to clean that thing will the detail disappear? I've read a few times where that's been said. I could only dream of digging a large cent up this way.

I'm not even gonna try anything more, I did some light toothbrushing, picked a little with a toothpick, then rubbed some face oil on it, that's it
 
Ohio makes you east of the Mississippi. And that means "east coast" in my book. And as such, go figure you guys find LC's in yards of homes only 1900-ish. Over here in CA, finding an LC is harder than finding a gold coin !

Sick sick sick :sissyfight::frustrated: (postscript : Great pix by the way :lol: )
 
Congratulations on your first, man those Largies are tough to find aren't they?
Even here on the East side of the Mississippi.:lol: Glad you finally got one:yes:

Surely you must be mistaken. A quick look down the forum pages of any md'ing forum show & tell, shows they are brimming out of every sandbox. If you're not finding them that easy over there,..... simply go to the end of the block, blindfold yourself, throw a rock in any direction. And: You're sure to hit a LC. Ok ? :sissyfight:

Our large scents are rotting roadkill:lol:
