Check out my "Peso" I dug today....

[sleepyjim]

Was out detecting with my friend and mentor TonyAz today in my new favorite lot in the whole world.....I had the Deus just fired up and got a bad tone and good one mixed, VDI said 51, dug about 6" down found a rusty nut, put it in my bag (Taught and practice carry it out!), rescan the hole and I get only good tone , and find a coin covered in dry dirt, look at it and see the Mexican eagle it seems on one side and what looks like a face on other, BAM got me a peso with 18xx date......I go to show Tony while blowing off some dirt and then see a shield on an eagle, bigger BAM it ain't no peso, it's a dang shield nickle, which is cool cause I never had one of those, I hand it to Tony and declare my shield nickle find.....Well Tony looks at it, then me then tells me how dang stupid I am and blind as a bat! (not really, he said that is no nickle it looks like a gold coin, but to my ears I heard the former...LOL),

WHAT?

Sure as heck, look what my Deus found me today, a find of a lifetime!! I have not cleaned (nor will I):

No it is a big lot my friend has more time there than I do but I will do whole lot, I am hoping the person had a few of these and lost them all.....I am using my 11" coild after I get done with that I will go back with the 9" and I still have to do another freq, I will be hunting this lot for a very very long time....
