Went to a former colonial house site, where a large stone home was moved to another locale. Dug junk and clad from 2-4" for a while. Finally got 2 hits at 6-8". First the cast iron decorative piece and then a Draped bust cent. Just enough detail to id. Think it's a reverse of 1797. Gotta play with the angle some more. One more warm day tomorrow. Peace Roy

Nice old cent..... well, it is old... and saw a lot of commerce. But if you can confirm the date, it is still a great find. Cheers, RickO
As a digger, I know find condition is part of the reality of the loss of detail. Still exciting to find early US coins right where they dropped. The obv is poor but the rev wreath detail is better. Have a good day. Peace Roy

ive dug a few large cents before a few slicks. still nice to see them these days
It is one of the truly interesting part of metal detecting - to find coins from the 1800's or even the 1700's, and realize they have been in the ground for 200 to 300 years, and you are the first to view them after they were lost. Cheers, RickO
