My first hunt in 2024

[Ed_DE]

Went to a church permission today and found a 1929 mercury dime & a large cent. The large cent is completely toast except for the date. It looks like 1794 to me? Also been using my 8X5.5 coil I got and I like it a lot. It seems to do a pretty good job in heavy iron & I'm getting half decent depth with it for a smaller coil. Thanks for looking.

Nice finds. Too bad copper does not hold up well in most ground. Congrats!

Good hunt.
At least the date was still readable.
Now get a readable silver from the same period.

I was using my Manticore that day. But I also have a Deus 2 WS6 master that I like to use.

When grading large cents, the lowest grade is AG-3. The only requirement for AG-3 is “clear enough to identify”. Even though your coin is toasted, it is indeed identifiable!
