I've recently received permission to hunt some new (to me) historic sites here in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. My AT Pro w/the small coil has sure been earning her keep. The ATP sniffed this little beauty out of some iron-infested ground last week on a short hunt. Even after rinsing, detail was sparse and I couldn't make out the date. So I let it sit in boiling hydrogen peroxide for a while, worked it gently with a toothbrush, then applied some coconut oil and Renaissance wax and this 1820 Coronet Head Liberty Large Cent came to life. Thanks for looking.

sweet find, congrats on the awesome find
 

Nice looking copper Richard. Glad to see you're still out swinging. Good luck in the valley ....
 

Thanks Bill. I've had a few decent finds this year. Yes, I'll be swinging as long as I'm able!
 

Very well done sir. Congrats.
