Went to the old farm site that has been very good to me for 2 hours tonight. I got 7 wheats,
42D, 19, 56D, 39, 45, 38, 50D. I got a 45S merc, a neat old button with a coat of arms on it. Some doo-dads, and I was digging a nice sounding coin tone, and it was still in the hole, so I started to dig some large chunks of dirt around the target while leaving the dirt in the hole. Then I seen it!!!! A chunk of dirt with a big green circle on it! No coin, just where the coin had been! It was about the size of a half dollar! So my hopes were high for a large cent! a little searching in the loose dirt in the hole, and out pops an 1826 large cent in great shape! YEEE HAAAA!!!!!! My new oldest coin! Before that it was an 1833 large cent. Thank you Lord!!!
