T-2 hit's 1st piece of $ilver :yo:

[Bill Ladd]

I was on my way to a young ladies house for dinner last night & she said she had to pick up a few things & to take my time. So I picked a pounded site on the way to her house to see if the T2 could sniff out anything left in a 1/2 hour or so. I figured maybe I could muster up a tiny button or something.
I put the sensitivity higher this time to 70. It ran stable there....balanced in @ a # 64 & I used 2 tone search. I gut a small bullet shell, some kind of belt stud, or harness decoration, then another weak signal that sounded like the small cuff buttons I've been digging....
Instead, out flipped this tiny, silver 1851 3 cent piece!

These are very cool coins, & hard to find 'cause they don't give a good signal at all. It was missed by many other detectorists, including us 1851 was the 1st year these were made, & I think this is my 2nd or 3rd one. The last one was scraped by a plow, so the condition of this one was very welcomed
Here's the back, & what I saw........ the big "III" laying face-up at me....

These are such cool looking coins....
A nice first piece of silver for the T2 & a heck of a way to kill a 1/2 hour!
HH,
Bill
