I've probably dug a dozen big coppers this year, but all have been toasted and not worth posting here. But I finally got one today that is worthy of this site!
I was deep in the woods at a spot I've just started to explore. Stone walls are everywhere, so it's got a lot of potential. Got an 83 signal, so I knew it had to be something decent. Pulled out a copper around 7 inches down. Very thick, so I was thinking Matron Head cent. Too grungy out of the ground to confirm, though. I cleaned it up when I got home and discovered it was an 1812 Classic Head cent! Way better than a Matron Head!
This coin has large date and small date varieties, but I can't tell the difference. Any help on that one would be appreciated.
