Detecting with my Father and Son, a large cent discovered

[GKman]

My father and I spent the morning working on my truck replacing the brakes and a wheel hub.
For my test drive afterwards, I took my father and son to where I found the 1793 Liberty Cap Cent and where I was earlier today (like 5:30 AM) and found some early American buttons. My father wanted me to try detecting for a couple minutes, while my son wandered around the field and threw stones. I really didn't feel like it since I was tired, sweaty and hot from working on the truck, but he convinced me to for a couple minutes. I'm glad I did because I found a nice buckle, and an 1817 large cent. Not bad for 5 minutes. When we got home my extraordinary wife reminded me I didn't really feel like detecting the morning I found that 1793 Liberty Cap either.
My father who is looking more and more like Santa Claus or Jerry Garcia or a cross between the two is the one that started us detecting back in 84 when he bought us a Fisher 1210 X
Here's a little video of the hunt.

You need to plan a day with just you and your dad out detecting that field. Pack a lunch and a couple beers and enjoy a morning of hunting together. Congratulations on the large cent. Looks to be a nicely preserved one.
