I have had some time off lately, finally i found a cellar that was never hit was finding lamp pieces all strewn all over the place then finally then using the deep tech vista gold i got a real distictive tone and dug about 5 inches there a large cent on edge was looking at me boy was i some happy, its been quite a while since i 've scored a largy never the less the oldest to date soon as i clean it up will post its not going to be that great it is pretty beat.

1798, thats an oldie. I would love to find some thing with 17-- on it. If you can read the date before cleaning it up, it must be not totally destroyed yet. Love cellar wholes when i can find them. Good going, CO

Copper does not do well up here. Just to get a date is a win .
