NOT BY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is the person..... "Davey" WTG MXT!!!!!!!!!
"the coin was found in the north east not missouri!!" lol
Can't believe what I found last weekend. Like usual my brother and I hit some old fields in search of some old coppers. We scanned for a couple of hours and Mailman came up with some nice old silver, a SLQ with a date of 1925 and a walking half with a date of 1934, what a great start to a great day. After a quick break at the truck and looking and drooling at his finds we hit the field again. I would say another hour went by when the MXT gave off a signal that read VDI 77 which means possible coin, I then knelt down and dug my usual three inch plug and rescanned the hole, now the VDI climbed to 83 and I got really excited cause I knew a coin was there. I dug another three inches or so and rescanned and the MXT signalled the object was still in the ground, I then dug another three or so inches and rescanned the hole, this time the object was no longer in the hole. I quickly found the coin in my dug up dirt and wiped the dirt off of it and couldn't believe my eyes. The date read 1652 and after seeing the tree on the back I recognized the coin as a Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling !!! What a rush, I could not believe it. Just trying to figure out what this coin is worth but I doubt I'll ever sell it.
