Haven't posted in the e trac forum due to my useing my Ctx primarily but today I decided to use my E trac with the 13 inch coil to cover more ground at an old farm site and left the Ctx sitting in the truck,there was tons of iron and what I think were old pipes and debris from the demo on the house and got a 12-46 solid at about 6 inches and at first I thought it was a large cent or a half cent but when I picked it up I was not familiar with the shield I seen on the front! At that point I thought it might be a token but after seeing the date of 1788 I looked it up online and found out it is a New Jersey copper shilling!! I never thought I would get something that old!! I'll post the video on you tube soon,thanks, Mole. Pghmole on YouTube

Very nice that is a real keeper and to echo Goes4ever: Welcome to the club. :please:
 
Thanks guys!! I'm going back there for sure! There got to be more..its just a shame they made a mess grading the area after the demolition somewhere between 1959 and 1969 according to the ariel photos..and they put a gas line right through the back yard...ill let you all know if I get anything else good,thanks again,Mole
