Equinox 600 provides my oldest coin

[IowaRelic]

Got out with my 2nd equinox 600 for the first time after selling off my last one. Hit a spot where my partner got a 1816 8 Reales and got this little crispin. Solid 18 amongst moderate heavy iron. Only a few feet from the plug of the Reale. Been over it and missed a few times with DEUS and anfibio. We’ve literally walked right circles over and over in this little area and today the Nox just smacked this thing at about 5”. It’s a Swiss 1813 “1/2 BAZEN”. Sweet.

Wow, wow, wow!!! Super find!! Strange how the other machines didn’t even detect it at 5”.

They probably did. It’s just extremely busy right there. And a TON of ambient noise. A main artery runs only a few yards away.

Looks like 1817. How many tones were you using?

50. You know, I see like 7 dates depending on the angle one thing I do know, it’s copper, and most examples I find are silver.
