11/15/15 A friend and I were out dirt fishing a old house found some clad as usual. Decided to go up to the High School and work our way down town I got a great signal 85 86 but it was hard to pin point after a few minutes and moving around the signal I got it located popped out the plug still in the hole did a little more digging and it was standing on end I thought it was a token at first until I cleaned off the back and seen one cent Dale came over and said Steve your shaking I was for 10 minutes it was a 1803 Draped Bust large cent my oldest find to date. PS how do you post pictures?

What a great find!
sorry I can not explain it, but with my English, you will have more problems with photo

Took me yrs to figure out. I take a pic with my iPhone, send it to my email, but the important thing is to pick the medium or small size when it asks you to resize it. Once you do that, then open your email, click on the pic, and save it. Once that's done go back to your post from this site, click upload, then choose the pic you just saved and it should work. Hope that works for ya! Excited to see your find! There are other ways like photobucket, but I do it this way. Good luck

I had to google that coin, and it is really a great looking coin.

These are the front and back of the large cent ol'moonshine found. It is a beautiful coin! I texted him, "You lucky duck" , He texted back, "Quack, Quack" and I knew he wasn't pulling my leg, he had just unearthed the find of a lifetime. Congrats!
