The First Hole Curse strikes again - Beautiful Large Cent

[Steve in PA]

Yesterday I spent 3 hours at a site that has given me some great coins - 1675 Two Reale Cob, 1884 V Nickel, 1891-S Seated Dime, 1785 Nova Contellatio, 1794 Liberty Cap Large Cent, and a King George II (in that order). There are two problems with this place though. It is littered with large caliber pistol shell casings and slugs, and it only allows me one good coin per visit
Last time there I dug a KG 2 on the first hole, then only a button in the remaining 3 hours. Yesterday, I decided to use the Equinox 600 and cherry pick the high tones (the shell casings give a lower tone). First signal I dug was this beautiful 1838 Large Cent. Then nothing of note for the next three hours
I still have some minor touch up to finish cleaning the Large Cent.

Here is the post I made when I found the cob.

1675 Spanish Silver Two Reale Cob!!

Tried a new permission yesterday. The owner said it was built in 1820. He also said it had been gone over with metal detectors before. He doesn't live there, but there were a couple guys doing some electrical work yesterday. The grass hadn't been mowed in a while and was pretty high in some...

Yeah I know that feeling all too well. Nice coin

Awesome coin.

Sometimes you can just feel it when you nab a good find, "yep this is it for today." But you keep going in vain anyway hoping for another winner.
