Hi All,
Man what a day today was! I got 2 first and they are great ones. I was hunting the hole I got those coppers at last week and was finding the normal relics. This hole was there till about 1830 or so and covers about 10 acres all toll. I had been hunting around the hole for about 2 hours and was not getting to much.
I was standing on top a hillside about 60 feet from the hole and noticed that at the bottom of the hill there was a huge patch
of pricier bushes. Time to get a little bloody!!
As soon as I got in I started getting signals! Lots of lead and metal then I found this honey. My very first Fugio Cent in 15 years of looking!

The scan does not do the coin justice. You can see most of the detail just fine. A few days in the olive oil should help.
I started back hunting after dancing a jig and found a few relics that were pretty nice.
After moving about 50 feet in about a half-hour and loosing about a pint of blood I got a real good hit. It read 88 on my XLT and that meant it was a quarter or a can. Gratefully it wasn't a can this time. Nice Barber Quarter, a little rough but I love it! After putting the coin in my zip pocket I re-check the hole and got another hit! It was a coin purse. My heart started racing and I got to diggin. All toll I got 9 coins from about 5 feet around the purse. Another first!!

This was a day of 2 first for me. The Fugio and then the change purse. What a day!! After I replenish my blood supply I am going back for more!
Thanks for looking and HH,
Brian
