"Ringing" in the first of May

[relic ray]

Yesterday I and some friends were detecting a very old park. There were 3 flour Mills there dating back to 1850. I found a bell dating to Sept 8, 1863. Likely a bell to one of the flour Mills. The bell is almost 5 inches in diameter. I also found two dimes, 1907 and 1876. The 1876 has a CC mint mark ALA Carson City.

Finally a few weeks ago in a different park I found a 1909 half dollar.

All of this with my new Equinox 800.

outstanding hunt!... my bucket list has a CC mint mark...I couldn't grasp the Nox 800... I know it's a great machine, but it just wasn't for me.

It's my first CC ever. Hopefully it won't be my last.

Those door bells are cool I found one and checked the patent date. Its a mechanical door bell that mounts inside the door with a knob you twist from the outside. Nice silvers, I'm guessing you are liking your new machine.

Yeah, they are hard to find. I hunt with lots of people all with 20 or more years experience and as far as I know, none of them have found a CC coin.
