Snagged A Potentially Awesome Spot!

[DigDigDig]

My brother and I got permission to scan an old abandoned farmstead. However the grass was so darn tall that we could hardly navigate. I found a little flat spot and had a really loud shallow coin sounding hit. I was expecting a clad quarter. But it was a 1825 large cent at 2". Neither my brother or I could believe it was that shallow. I'm pretty excited to go back. I offered to mow it for the farmer so it is a win win situation.


Sorry though. I don't have a good camera to take pictures with. Can't even tell what it is on my phone

Sounds like an awesome site! Congrats!

Post the pic later when you can. I'd like to see a L C. I can't read the date on the one I have.

Congrats on that LC! You have a wonderful spot there!

Now for the tall grass. . . cut yourself a piece of 1/2" thick plywood about 3'x4' and loop a piece of rope at the top.
Lay it on the tall grass and swing your coil over the plywood.
This method snagged me a couple of silver dimes last month in a yard that hadn't been cut since spring.

Good luck! Oh, and welcome to TNet.

Congrats on the LC. My first LC was only about 3-4" down I was surprised on mine. You just never know how deep its gonna be!
