Indiana Farm Fields... Epic Day

Well-known member
Its been a whole but these finds are post worthy.... Picked up a new manticore and broke it in properly over the weekend with my good buddy Jim. Its not often you buy a new machine and your first coin is a large cent :oops: Had a pretty epic day, we spend about 6 or 7 hours hitting an old house site before the field gets planted. I am still learning the machine but I would say it did pretty dang well. We compared a lot of signals and there was only one button that was deep Jim said he probably wouldn't have dug. I ended up with 4 large cents, 1 1880's Indian, handful of flat button and a few broken points. The 4th largie was found using my Deus 2 with the HF coil. I spent the last hour swinging it. Jim ended up with an early large cent as well and a bunch of flat buttons. I was able to get 2 of the large cents live dig on camera. Crazy that all these large cents were lost and we have yet found a piece of silver.


Lots of memories and laughs made!

Until next time..

Thanks everyone,
Derrelld

That's a great day. I'm curious how these and similar coins look when cleaned. I'm just starting out and have only found dirty clad so far.

I only run water and hit them lightly with a tooth brush. There are other ways but the fertilizer was pretty rough on these.
