    Swimming hole edge

    Hello everyone. I gained permission to hit an old swimming hole area today. I don't have a water detector so, I hunted the edge and the wooded line. I was happy with all the trash I dug to land two old nasty Indian Head pennies. Consecutive dates also 1895, and 1896!

    Not the best shape, but at least they're pre-1900. Did you use peroxide on them?

    Thanks PG. I'm hoping to get back but, the owner has the,"mine syndrome" He allowed me to detect but, was not real comfortable with a stranger on his property. Gonna try again though.
