Out In The Corn Field

Went out today with Mark, he invited me to an old field he has permission to hunt. The field has given up a lot of goodies in the past but lately not much to find. Mark went to a different area to see what he could turn up I went to the spot that has been good in the past. Mark found a thimble and a compact and several other interesting "what its" I tried to find a spot that was loaded with iron so I could use the Two Tone Ferrous option on the E-Trac. My thinking was that maybe I could pull out a goodie that had been masked from the other detectors that have been used. I got a bullet a few square nails a hunting arrow tip and found some broken crockery. A couple of other finds were a china button and a mother of pearl button. Finally I got a good signal between some iron, it took some squeaking out with a small wiggle to isolate it. I dug my plug and scanned again and I got a very solid 12-46, I figured it wasn't a clad quarter so I had hopes for a Large Cent and would just have to accept the disappointment of a Seated Quarter if that was the case. Well it was a Largie very toasty could not get a date as of yet.

Sorry no video...my battery was dead!
 
I like the 4 blade Muzzy :rofl: Man, you have to watch how much scratchin' around in the hole that you do........that could be NASTY! Good job on sniffin' out the LC!
 
Great job finding the Large Cent !
 
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the arrow tip. I hoped you hadn't thrown your hand in the hole and gotten sliced. Congratulations on the LC Tony! Thanks for sharing. Looks like both of us has had camera problems of late.

Three words: Wear leather gloves to scoop dirt out of the hole or to break the plug.

Can just make out a bit of the wreath but no words. Hopefully I will be able to get something off it. I stopped by the coin shop today after I hunted today to see if they had any MS70 so I could try that to clean it, he agreed that it is an early Matron Head.

how old is the coin?

Haven't been able to get a date as yet, looks like early Matron Head which would be 1816-1839.
 
With some MS70, a little massaging and the help of a coin dealers strong lamp and magnifier he stated that he was fairly sure it is 1833. Coin is still toast but at least got a date on her!
