Nice old Large Cent!

[JeffInMass]

Since I moved down to Cape Cod, and NOT being a beach hunter, I have found it nearly impossible to find any decent, non-permission-required places to hunt. My better half showed me this small park in the next town over, and it's probably about 150 or so years old. I've been to it twice and have found an 1853 Seated dime and 1882 Indian on those trips. I had a short window on Father's Day between the rain and family coming over, so I snuck out there for a couple of hours.

Signals were few, but I did manage a couple of keepers. An 1881 Indian, very badly corroded to the point it looks like junk and this 1847 LC. It has great detail, but just a light wipe shows me that if I attempt to clean it, I'll probably lose the rest of the detail. It's in pretty nice shape though as the pics will show.

HH all,

That's a nice one Jeff. I can imagine finding spots to hunt in that area could be tough. Hope you discover a few bud

It has been a LONG time since I pulled one of those out. Went a while today and got a couple of flat buttons but just can't get me a large copper to save my life. Congrats ... HH

Very nice LC. This is my first year detecting that I haven't found one ( so far, keeping my fingers crossed still ).

The pink coloring/patina gives a nice effect!

Thank you my friend! Zeroing in on some permissions for the fall, and it's only a 45 minute or so ride to some of my old stomping grounds, so things are OK! Continued success to you!

Living where you do, it's just a matter of when, not if, you'll nab one- rest assured!!
