Tom_in_CA Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 That LC is in nice shape. And judging from the pile you had to wade through to find it, you earned it ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to get some time in on the E Trac and get reacquainted with it. It really is a good machine considering it's age. 15 hours ago, Valens Legacy said: Great hunting with some very nice finds, I like to hunt old churches because of what is in the ground. There are over 9 churches near me that have been here since the 1800's, and I can tell you that the have some very old coins. Good luck on your next outing. Hope you get out to some of those churches and get some of those coins. But churches are funny, the priest that gave my friend permission was fielding calls all the time we were there. People calling him to report the 2 guys digging his church. One lady even took a picture of my friend and scolded him for hunting a church without permission. 😄 Even after telling her he had permission she still took a picture of him. Funny no one bothered the long haired guy 😆 6 hours ago, Tom_in_CA said: That LC is in nice shape. And judging from the pile you had to wade through to find it, you earned it ! Thanks Tom. If I had more time there I think I could have found some deeper, older coins than wheats. But first time there you just wander around and see what pops up. EMI was the depth killer there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geof_junk Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I offer face value of the coins I get to put in the "poor box". It usually works for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolofhardNox Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 So I did get around to toning the large cent with sulfur infused Vaseline. It deepens the coin to a dark tone and hides some of the green that was left by me not cleaning the coin completely. This coin definitely did not see a lot of circulation before being lost. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that series, they are stuck hard. Most of the time they will clean up well. It's the earlier series that are hard to find in great condition. Very sandy soil or areas that have lime, tend to preserve copper well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
