First draped bust large cent on ancestors land!

[RustyRelics]

I went back to my 8th great grandfathers place today, and pulled out another large cent! This time it's a draped bust. Date is pretty much completely worn off, but I think it's dated 1801. Another pretty cool piece of family history!

The fact it’s possibly (I stress possibly) dropped by an ancestor has to make that more special. Congratulations.
