Hey gang! Went and did some detecting with the club treasurer Tracey.. We went to some old schools and parks and found clad couple bucks worth. We wanted to change spots so I brought her to the farm Joe and I went too. Not very much found there either, but on the way out to do a little spot near the house I get a solid 79 and crisp sounding signal. Vdi shows around 3 inches I scrape a plug and WHAM I see big copper 1775 KG was about two inches down.. Up at the small part behind the house first time doing that area I get a nickel signal real close to the surface. That close to surface I expect pull tab but nooo I see a nickel but looks like a buff glance again and see the v clear as day. This coin is in fantastic condition but extremely red in color pretty cool I say.. 1899 and was only about 2 inches Max... HAPPY HUNTING GANG STAY SAFE.. [attachment=8492] [attachment=8493]
I wish we could get V's like that condition around here. The pollution over the years has done a good job of toasting most of them!!
