1803 and 1810 LARGE CENTS

[cannonball]

The other day I got back into the swing of things. Today, I felt that I needed to rescue more coins. It's was as if they were saying " I'm over here get me out of this ground. It's been hundreds of years!" I wanted to give them a nice warm home in safety deposit box. Here is what they look like after light conservation. Please chime in if you think that you can attribute them.

Nice job on the conservation they turned out awesome!!

1803 large date, pointed 1. Large fraction. There are 6 main varieties of the 1803. Yours is the second most valuable of the 6.
A $200-$300 coin. Probably a bit less since it came out of the ground.

Fantastic finds and you sure did a great job on the restoration !

ABSOLUTELY GREAT coins. Did you find them all in one day ?

 

[fishstick]

Those are KILLER looking

HELLO Gare, l found the two large cents yesterday and the two half cents and two Spanish Silvers on Sunday. On my Deus 2, I use the sensitive program wide open and accept all the way down to -6.4 with five tone breaks. But the real killer is the method that we discussed over the phone one day. It's very effective !

Is it the Sheldon 265 R-4 ?

Interesting settings, what is the sensitivity and Reactivity set at?
I've never used tone breaks on any setting or detector.
Machine gun sounds can be a tad tricky to listen to for a lengthy period.

Well done on the great looking coppers. 👏

sensitivity-99, reactivity-0, it's very chatty but go slow in clockwise and counterclockwise sweeps as well as normal sweeps. The signal is not just 360 degrees. It's round like a ball. 3D. Pay close attention and don't go insane!

I have been running the Techna program with 98 sensitivity, 0-1 Reactivity
Very chatty, but no problem hearing them.

Can you go into a little more detail about this? By CW and CCW sweeps, I assume you mean that once you get a signal, your sweeping in a circle around it, not just a side-side sweep? What can this tell you, besides the proximity of other targets nearby?

Outstanding!

 

[The Rebel]

Those are in fantastic shape!

Those are beautiful

The general search pattern that I use in iron infested sites is cw, ccw, side to side, North, South, East, and West. I try to get just a glimpse of non-ferrous masked in the iron. It takes awhile

Nice job on that pair of Large Cents. Those are in amazing condition.

 

[Gare]

Nice going

Those are pretty. Excellent recoveries!
