Has potential

Been doing a lot of tree work for a church,they just bought this property beside them. Old green building usto be a barn,turned into a sign shop. So I’m assuming the pond was for the cattle whenever this place was a working farm. Anyway, after I was done for today I grabbed the machine out of my work truck and swung around for a bit by the pond...1853 LC,and some type of token or pendant,gotta clean it up and see. But yea,the site has potential for sure.Not a fan of finding large cents tho anymore,my Pennsylvania soil just ruins them.

Yes even here I'd say 9/10 coppers are trashed. Really stinks finding an old copper and you cant even tell what it is :laughing:

at least yours is identifiable lol could be some old silver near by, I'll be looking forward to updates :yes:

congrats man!

Ok, so let's see if I understand this correctly: The poor little east coast hunter just "happens to swing around a bit after work one day"....

Oh my oh my. I'm just crying alligator tears. I feel so bad for you that you're not getting mint grade LC's. How do you handle the indignity ? :?:

Congrats on the Large Cent finds. Those finds can certainly indicate that there are some silver coins to be found in that spot so good luck if you go back there to hunt again. I'm not all that thrilled with Large cents for the same reason you mentioned.....other than a couple of exceptions, the Large Cents I dig in my area are not even close to being in decent condition.

Glad you get it cellrdwellr,I usually use coppers to date a area,they’re really worthless

Tom,geographically were really different. While my ancestors were breaking they’re back in the coal mines yours were playing with a pan in the water and pulling gold...pull ahead a few centuries and nothing’s changed. My state was so poor they lost nothing but old pennies,and that’s what I find while your pulling gold coins from your area.. heck,while I was putting another pound of aluminum foil on my antenna to get a local station you probably had internet.. :laughing:

Nice finds! That's the fanciest cow pond I ever saw! Looks kinda like purpose built swimming hole to me if it has that concrete all the way around it.

Loved this post ! While I won't admit this is the reason for my/our lack of LC's, yet I have to admit: I loved it ! :laughing:

Definitely jealous of those toasted east coast LCs! Nice work woody! I'm glad you chose to keep a nox in your arsenal as well!
