Large Cent an Eagle Button Today

[Hill Billy]

Well with the big storm coming in from the mid west tomorrow, I thought I would try and get some much needed swing time in. I'm glad I did. The weather here has been really uncooperative when it comes to digging this past month. I decided to go and hit a site that I have pounded to death. I have been to the site 4 times now and thought that I wouldn't find a thing, well I was wrong. I swung for an hour or so and had only found a brass ring and an old pocket knife. I thought about giving up but told myself to hang in there. A bit later I dug the LC... glad I kept swinging. I carried on and dug a hinge and a spoon handle piece. Then came the button, I've been waiting for a while on this find, I don't run across these very often. Unfortunately the farmers discs ran right across the front of this one, bummer. Seems like all of these I find get run over by something. Oh well, maybe next time. I kept hunting for a little while longer till the rain came in an ran me off.
Sure enjoyed the hunt though.

Nice LC! Even though the button has been dented, I'd have it cuz I don't have one! Neat finds.

NO such thing as "hunted out".
Congrats!
Both look great to me......

Nice LC and nice Eagle. One thing about this hobby, each year after a good hard freeze and thaw, items move in the ground. So really a site is never hunted out, as things move, good targets are still findable.

Nice work on the copper and the eagle, HB! Beggars can't be choosers on those eagles. And a nice CW backmark on it too. Well done! I have an 1848 and an 1846 LC in my dug collection, but no '47 yet. Excellent cleaning job on that coin, too. You're off to a good start this year. What's that, two coppers and a Flying Eagle?

Cheers,


Buck
