Largie! Finally!!

[OhioMetalMaven]

I finally found my first large cent this morning. I was detecting my 1800’s homestead, which I have detected almost daily for two years, and I found my oldest coin to date. An 1847 largie!!! Such a good day!!! She was 8-10 inches down, below two old square nails. I could hear a repeatable high tone, but not a great one. I dug and there it was.
Thank you Black Bart for reminding me on YouTube to share it over here. ✌🏼❤️😊🍀

I was sure you would say something like this. AGAIN CONGRATUATIONS !!! There is probably more in the same area

There was! I found an 1899 IHP about twenty feet away from where I found it.
