1787 BRITANINIA Copper and Indian :bouncy:

[Tim_on_Long_Island]

Went back to same small park where i found the army toy soldier,I set my V3i to coin and jewelry setting ,stock setting...using a 950 loop .., I got a mixed signal ,6 inches,,bouncing back and forth to iron then high tone....buried under tree roots. I dug down, found a nail,,,went over the hole and got a solid high tone.dug down 6 inches..out pops out a large copper disk,,not sure what it was, I threw it in my bag . I continued detecting and got a solid signal, 4 inches down ,dug and found a 1902 Indian head ( my first !!!! )..I was so excited . I stopped and went home,,,I started to clean( running under water ) the large disk and saw some print around the edges. I took the disk to a local coin dealer and he told me it was a colonial 1787 Britaninia copper coin,,,WOWWWW,,,was two excitements in one day..,,this machine is the best,,!!!!!!...HH..Tim
