Digging the mid tone and while mostly lead, did get a nice details 1863 indian and a crusty us large cent. Return of young green heron. And shy frog.

I haven't been here in a year plus. Unfortunately, someone left me very few high tones. However, they did leave me a us large cent and a nicely preserved indian head. If you get in deeper water here and in the clay there's a chance of a sealed in coin and not exposed to much oxygen. The fatty indian is a perfect example of what low oxygen concentration does for a coin pretty susceptible to corrosion. Definitely the nicest fatty indian I've ever found.

Unfortunately, large cent I can only see T of LIBERTY and S OF on reverse so it's at least not newer than a drapped bust. Doesn't narrow it down much...

For the wild life we have a frog hiding from camera and my young green heron buddy returned.

Thank you all. I appreciate everyone's comments and support. Seemed like people liked the wild life last time so I took more pics of it while out.. planning on walking here from a different direction, where I found the ring and silver quarter. It is going to be a bit chilly at not quite 70 and showers but I as long as air is Warmer than water I'll be ok.

The edging of the Large Cent will give you a clue of what years/design it is.... Even before a light cleaning I was able to ID an 1817 Coronet large cent by the lettered (beaded) edging (see my post which was replied to today on my 1817 coin just found vs the detailed mint strike of it when new). And then compare diameter and weight. These methods should narrow down the type and age range of your cool large cent....JB
