I was detecting at a demo site here in the Boise area and I found not only my oldest coin (by far) but possibly the oldest US coin in Idaho 
(that I've heard of) I know for sure that it's a draped bust large cent made in between 1797 and 1807 but I just cant make out the date! I've tried a light electrolysis on it and it actually shined it up quite a bit but didn't enhance any details that I was hoping for. Maybe you know of some specific land marks on this coin that can help me put a date on it? Maybe you see numbers that I dont? Im a bit confused by the profound squiggly kinda "s" shaped line under the bust. I think I see and "8" to the left of it but you know how it is when you stare at something long enough you can find anything. Thanks for the help and happy hunting!
