well went to a spot today I saw on a old map. its a park today but back in 1885 it was a farm. went through like $2.00 in clad then got that "good" hit "it was 8+inches "I hate that" but dug it and out pops a large cent.. its hard to read of course but I see 1818 , I do my happy dance first for me so now I'm stoked.. it has what looks like a machine made hole in the middle of the coin. anyone know what that may be?? next was a buckle with hand made iron on it. more clad and then I dig what I thought was a token but it reads "Bethlehem steel co Lehigh plant clr1224' back of it reads "loss of this check should be reported to time department immediately a charge of fifty cents will be made if lost or not returned on leaving the service of the company"not sure what that is ,maybe a workers tag? anyway I start to hunt again and about 10 feet from that I get another nice hit at 8+ and I dig. well out pops another large cent that I cant read . after I got it home and cleaned a bit it is a 1808 large cent. two in one hunt?? its in bad shape but still cool to me.. this whole hunt took less then an hour.. just goes to show you ,you never know what you'll dig.. now how to clean the large cents??
