Had a great day of hunting at the Fields Of Legend today. It is still producing meager finds but great stuff. I took my time working areas that were hit hard already with my DFX running as hot as I could get it, without it going haywire. Smalls were coming infrequently but deep. A high signal in a very tight spot stopped me in my tracks, it was deeper then I thought, out of the second shovel this thicker than normal coin pops out. At first I couldn’t see any of the detail on it. I put it in a protective sleeve and worked my way over to Tombac who was hunting with me. He had just finished finding a large cent, I pulled the coin out that had dried somewhat showing it to him, I could of swore I was looking at flowing hair but wasn’t sure. I broke out my loop and literally fell over, holy crappola!!! It was the coveted 1793 Flowing Hair large cent, Wreath with Vine and Bars. I turned it over and could barely see the wreath. The quality of most of the copper coins coming from these fields was bad to worse, for any detail to be left on any coin this was the one the field gods spared from frying completely. What a great hobby… 9 buttons,one a blowhole, watch winder and a very odd clog clasp and smalls.
