Awesome save. Congrats on your new oldest coin D4C. I hope you plan to hit that place again. Till I started in the hobby I didn't know large cents existed. I have only found 6 and like the one you just found they showed up unexpectedly. You guys do have some really great old ground to hunt. Good luck, Mark

Wow way cool find D4C! Maybe it was brought in with fill? I’ve dug mid-1800’s coins in ballfields, only a few inches deep, these ballfields established in the early 1970’s. They get tilled about every decade and sometimes fill is brought in.

Additionally, it was seven inches deep which most likely indicates that it was in the ground there for quite a while. Many places like playgrounds, sport fields, and parks were at one time nothing more than farmland worked by people who lost things there. __________________

Very exciting, Ed. Most of us will never dig a Fugio cent, especially Tom_in_CA
 And, unlike Tom, most of us will never dig a gold coin. Like he says, “location, location, location”. I once dug a 1600’s British half cent in the center field turf of a playground’s baseball field, so ya just never know what was on a given spot 250 years ago or longer. Congrats on what must be a bucket-lister! __________________

I'm fortunate that I have found a Fugio Cent AND a gold coin so I guess I've got Tom beat.
