Two Hour Hunt Gets One Penny :rofl: But A Good One :super:

What a day! It snowed most of the day, but it melted by the time I got off work. It was 3 degrees above freezing, so I headed home, grabbed the AT Gold with that nice 5" x 8" coil and searched some nearby woods. I really had no expectations, and just wanted to get rid of the blahs from such a cool cloudy snowy day. However, I got a signal bouncing around the VDI of 75, which in the past ID'd a large cent or an old Heinz 57 metal relish bottle cap. Well.....it turned out to be a 1918 large cent in pretty good condition.

Just might try again tomorrow after work.

Nice find, I spent three hours at a local park in town and found a bunch of trash.
The change I found was probablly about twelve pieces mostly pennies. I was detecting
around a basketball court in hope of striking gold. I was really surprised to find a Indian
Head penny just a couple inches down 1909. I thinking maybe it wasn't in the ground that
long. I found a 1924 Wheat penny last week that is so green I could hardly read it. I'm sure
soil conditions and other metals and minerals have alot to do with preservation of a coin especially a cooper one
