Got a nice 12-45 at my local park and was only about 5 inches deep in a not so trashy area. Turns out it is my oldest US coin to date. But not sure on the year. Its a large cent with the 1/100 fraction and the head facing right. This dates the coin from 1793-1807!! Sorry no pictures......it is sitting in an olive oil bath at the moment. Pulled it out a few times tryng to see the date with a magnifying glass. Looks like 180? Will post pics if comes out all right. HH Joe
