I hit it hard this weekend with detecting buddy James and hunted at a bunch of researched public sites that I thought may still hold some old finds. All finds shown were made with the Minelab E-trac + SEF 10x12 Coil. The hot humid weather was brutal at times but I had a big cooler with ice and drank a lot of water and kept going. The Franklin half dollars were found at different sites. The 1962 half was a pocket spill with a 1944 silver quarter. The 1898 Barber Quarter was exactly straight up and down in the hole @ about 8 inches. When I first scraped the dirt
off I thought it was a ring but then instantly knew it was an old quarter when I pulled it out. The worn out shield nickel was found at the same site about 10 feet away from the quarter. That coin was so smooth and worn I first thought it was some electrical punch-out,
but once I saw the vertical bars I kept applying my nickel date restore multiple times and actually got the date. 1867. The 1929 mercury dime was vert deep (about 10 inches).
I saw the Carter Inkwell bottle cap first and then dug for the bottle part and found it.
The last signal I dug on Sunday was that Chauffeur Badge. It was only about 3 inches but was giving me 12-40 Numbers so I knew it wasn't just a new penny. I have been wanting to find one of these for a while and this is my first one.
Thanks for looking!
