Well I found another first yesterday and something that's a rarity to find on the West Coast!!
I was hunting an area we have been hunting the past few year's,it had gotten a little slow
until this last couple of weeks when they started doing some work on the lot and moving alot of dirt around.
So far there have been 3 barber half's and 2 bust halve's found,but not by me
So I had dug alot of trash including some smashed soda can's.I got this really good
signal which I thought was just going to be another piece of iron,but when I dug the hole out came this large disc.
I wiped some dirt off and to my surprize I saw "One Cent",I was like no way I just found my first large cent!!!!
So I did the
and started calling my hunting buddie's over to show them what I found!!
Needless to say I didn't find anything else but I didn't care I was happy with that find
Oh yea it's a 1849 LC
