#98 LC and #3 for 2007 plus video of recovery

[Don in SJ]

I always carry my digital camera and since it has video capability, every now and then I will shoot some. This morning when I got a noway it could not be a coin reading, I decided to gamble and record the recovery. Usually when I do this the "coin" ends up being a large 1790's button which reads the same lots of times.

This time it was a coin and it was a Large Cent, darn if it is not in horrible shape but I did manage to get the date and then attribute the variety, again, I do not feel real bad about it, it is a Noe 6 variety, the most common and least valuable one. If that is any consolation to me.

It was a very unusual morning at the site, no other artifacts, just loads of shotgun casings and some iron, No Buttons today

If you have dial-up forget the video and enjoy the photos, otherwise, find the coin with me!

Very cool video. Thanks so much!! Almost as good as being there with you. LOL If I dug that coin I'd have been ecstatic! (Not going to find many LC in California.)

I have an offtrack question for you...What type of tree is that one you're digging next to? The fallen leaves looked like oak, but the bark didn't.

Great video, Don. Three large cents so far this year? You're off to a fantastic start!

Most of the woods in my part of the state are black and white oaks, Jersey Pines (White pine) and Holly Trees, along with Beech, and quite a few others, but in this stretch it is Oak and Pine, that be a Pine tree...
