Sunday At The Park (My 1st large cent!)

[GarrettGuru]

I hunted a large open park down by the shore in SE Connecticut with my Garrett Ace 300 w/ DD search coil. My first target was a small hollow round copper cap or cover at about six inches down. Not long after I dug up a deep copper signal and was shocked to find it was half of a large cent! It looks like it was brutally chopped in two but it isn't too shabby. Maybe next time I'll find the other half! The rain was starting to pick up but I was having too much fun. I stayed for about another hour and found the marksman award and buckle. All in all not a bad day at the park!

I would call that an excellent day at the park! Congrats on your first large cent.

Looks like a great hunt, GG!

Congratulations on the large cent. I've never dug a large cent, not even half of one! LOL
