Had a nice day yesterday, so decided to go coin and relic hunting instead of more work on the belted magnetic black sand separator. Chris and I have been hunting an old dirt hiway that was used from the 1800's into the 20th Century. Hadn't found much other than cartridges, and few broken items, like horse
hoe parts, square nails, etc. We do about 1/2 mile...going down and back to cover it all. Yesterday, about an hour in, I got a good signal on the DFX, and dug up this half dollar. Couldn't believe it was actually a coin until I saw the seated on it. My best coin, ever. Oldest, and most value. We still have a few miles to go. Just going out on the nicer days...probably head out again, Saturday. Cool placen to detect...the road winds through a juniper forest at the base of the mountains.
