How neat is that?? A 97 year old cent..in the ground! I wonder how many people walked over that, and for how long! I REALLY want to give that metal detecting a shot..

Thanks for posting your find.

WOW! Nice score on the '14-D. You may have hit the gold mine on that, even though it is copper! NICE FIND!:hail:

 

Hey! One heck of a find Dave........

And watch out for them Scandinavians. Sometimes they bite........

 

A 14-D!!!

 

If I were very lucky it might grade G-4 Damaged, due to it being in the ground for so long. Unless I end up living in a cardboard box I will probably just hang on to it . .

 

Wow, a 14-D! All I ever find is washers and rust.

Awesome find on the 14-D!

 

Oh yeah, umm....

I dropped that.

 

Before further cleaning I would get into contact with BadThad to look into getting the coin "conserved", which is different than cleaning. Check out his thread: http://www.cointalk.com/t193406/

 

Echo that......

 

Wow, super find... congrats on the 14D..

I agree see if it can be conserved in some good way...

 

Thanks, Now I found out that there is a hole in my pocket.

 

Thanks folks. Have some Verdi-Care on the way. I have nothing to lose by trying this..

At least it's not 'improperly cleaned', right? Spectacular find.

 

Excellent find!

 

All I had done before taking Thad's advice was run it under water to get the easy crud off. Had not planned on taking sandpaper to it any time soon.

 

the only coin i ever found whilst metal detecting was a william III halfpenny in quite poor condition, still i kept it for posterity............

 

Wow, really cool find.

 

Amazing! I think I'd have that area dug out like a foundation by now!
