Copper Streak Continues: 1833 Large Cent

[Neil in West Jersey]

Signals were sparse at the site I found the Irish Halfpenny last week. I hung in there until I got a solid 84 reading 8 inches. I had a good feeling on this one before I dug. It was actually closer to 9 inches deep.

A little while later I dug this sweet R&W Robinson button (circa 1840's). This one was also 8 inches, but had a broken but repeatable signal like a deep twist-off around 50 VDI.

Here is a picture of when it was dug to give you an idea of its size.

Those things are BIG!! They must make quite a noise when you sweep over them. For the sake of the rest of the guys, if you have a minute do a sweep
show the VDI, the Signagraph, and if you have the v3i upgrade maybe even the polar plot. (I'd be interested in all of these). I've never dug something like this, but I'd like to be educated a bit more on what I might see if I were to get out to the East coast and give my detector a swing or two there.

Thanks for all the kind comments. This is a great time of year for outdoor photos; cool crisp air with little haze and the sun dipping lower into the sky makes for awesome landscapes and closeups.

After ruining the zoom of my last three digital cameras over three years by getting dirt in the zoom mechanism, I no longer take my camera detecting. One of these days I am going to invest in one of those new rugged models which are dust-proof, waterproof and shockproof, but for now the photos have to wait until I return to the car or home.

I can tell you that the VDI was at 84, but because of the depth of the coin it was a little jumpy until I was directly over it. I don't pay much attention to the signagraph. For me it is the sound that is my best indicator of a good target. I do recall using the Polar Plot on this, and again because of the depth it was a large loop, not a straight line, but not squiggly either. I was in 7Khz at the time so there was only one long loop almost like two parallel straight lines connected at the tip.
