The Power of Positive Thinking

[ScaredOfClowns]

This morning I went for a hunt at one of my spots in the woods, and for some reason I just knew from the start that I was going to find something cool.

I wasn't disappointed: I found two old coppers: a nice Draped Bust large cent, and a second old copper that I can't identify.

This is the fourth Draped I've dug up in this location, and this one has better details than the others I've found. I'm planning to give it a soak in olive oil and see if I can possibly raise a date.

Try as I might, I can't really make out any identifying marks on the second copper. It's about the same diameter as the the Draped LC, but it's considerably thinner, which makes me *kinda* think it might be a British penny (I recently found a KGIII halfpenny nearby).

I don't know if I'll get another hunt in before the month is over, but this is definitely a nice way to finish out the year.

Thanks for looking - HH and Happy New Year to everyone!
