Woo Hoo! I have been looking for one of these things for 30 years. Once I found out about large cents I couldn't believe that I hadn't found one.
I decided to search some areas that I know haven't been searched and were old enough to produce a large cent. I have been gridding a soybean
field for two or three four hour trips. I had found a lot of old relics, two Indian Heads, but I was hoping for silver or this! Have her soaking and
will post a new photo when she is even prettier. I think I see an 1851 date. If so, this is my oldest coin ever.
