Goochland, VA near the James River.

Anywhere near the James River is a great place to search. Wish I could be there.

Going to a new area of that stretch on sunday that has given and given but has never seen a T2! Time to make the dirt sing!!! Only 2 people have ever hunted it and used a machine thats opposite of black. hehehehe

 

[Joenaz]

Looking forward to see what you find in the new area. Best of luck on your hunt.

Went along the James River and found old brick and china on the ground and decided to hunt. It was raining so it was a short one. First signal was a 80 and I thought it might be a large cent. 5 inches down I found the target and it indeed looked like a large cent but had a rust hole in the middle so I thought it was a really thick Flat Button that the shank had come off. The next day I cleaned it a little and started seeing some words. It is a 1844 Henry Clay campaign token! His face is worn but it says Henry Clay on the front and on the back his slogan. "Protection of American Industry" Wish ole Henry was running for office today! I will post pic soon.
