<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SensibleSal66, post: 24662266, member: 115232&quot;]I had to get my Pics together. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;This takes place back in 2001. It was my first-time metal detecting at an old site (1800&#039;s). I went with 2 other guys and my friend Dan drove since he had a 4wd vehicle. We were at an old one room schoolhouse spot( sign on tree, Ha Ha!) and my friend Chris already found a nice 1851(later identified as an 1851/81)Lg cent! Well, we were almost done when out of nowhere, I get this awesome hit 7 inches down (approx.). I dig and dig until I use my pinpointer and pop up this most beautiful 1847 Large Cent staring at me plain as day!! It was my first Large Cent ever! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I was so nervous, I was literally shaking. I go to show them the coin and notice that neither of them is around. I figure that their just not close by, you know? Then all of a sudden I see this Bronco driving past the spot and not stopping! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie67" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I pick up my belongings and start jogging down the dirt road (bumpy as heck!) yelling and screaming for them to stop. What? Did they think I went back down the road? What the heck! They finally stop.</p><p>&nbsp; I get in the truck and start smiling, they look at me strange as many do. LOL.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Anyways, I pull out the coin from a tissue and their look was priceless! They were surprised that I wasn&#039;t mad. Now, I&#039;ll always not only cherish the coin but my story and a vivid picture of me jogging down the road and a dream. A dream of finding a coin that long ago, and in this instance, a teacher or student lost it there. It&#039;s in such nice condition, I grade it a EX40+ Details. It was in clay-like soil. That&#039;s what saved it I believe. </p><p>&nbsp; I hope you all enjoyed my story and the Pic of the coin! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1572230[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
