First Draped Bust!

[thegreendarner]

Detected at my bosses 1700's farmhouse today, and pulled out 2 draped bust large cents, about 2 feet from another. This one is clear. 1801, and super details in her curls when cleaned up. The other draped bust is too worn to glean a date off of. Oh man, is there nothing better than popping out a round object from a good signal?!?

Nobody here likes east coast LC's. They are *so so* boring. Tsk tsk

(Oh, and do not construe this to mean that I think these are actually real, or that you actually *found* them ).

Great job! She’s in great shape.
If you can go back there’s more there somewhere. Good luck

Nice find. Congratulations

Way to go! Nothing better than pulling old large cents from the ground.

Congrats on the great recoveries.

Congrats on the DB'S, always a fun find!

 

[MSCguy]

Congratulations on two awesome finds! More to be found at that spot.

And don't mind Tom. He suffers from Copper Envy, living where he does. But he is a good dude, just one of his little quirks. We just smile and nod, and thank him for his contributions.

WTG on the DBs!

My favorite kind of find!

Awesome find. Congrats.

Spectacular! It blows my mind that, when this thing was minted, Abe Lincoln wouldn't have been born for another 7 or 8 years. It was waiting a long time for you to come along.

Yeah, you can see it was clearly made in china!

Lol, thanks Tom, so glad you're not jealous! But don't worry, joke's on us east coasters (at least where I am in NH) that we get these great coppers to dig up, but our soil is so acidic they usually come out toasted. Not complaining, still fun!!

 

[Kansashunter]

Now that is a cool find!

 

[chillforlife]

Wowser, that is an awesome find, but Tom is right, East Enders suck!

BTW, thanks for sharing.

 

[thegreendarner]

Thank you, thank you, so glad my toasty LC's can being such joy

 

[thegreendarner]

I'm just waiting for those non-toasty old silvers. They would be a nice dig. Just sayin.
