    The one that got me hooked on digging.

    I was out in a field trying to learn the sounds of my newly bought detector (10 yrs ago). I had no idea what I was doing. I had'nt learned how to pinpoint too good.I'm digging and digging and not finding nothing.I was using a tablespoon as my digger.It was my 3rd day digging,don't laugh. Anyway,it turns out this was on the side wall of the hole I was digging around 5 1/2 inches down. Not my best find,but one of my more memorable ones.
    Good Luck,Mike

    Wow!
    That would get anyone hooked.

    That IS a beautiful large cent.

    I remember my first large cent. I dug it up.....just started screaming and jumping up and down. I didn't even have to look at it and I knew it was a coin not in circulation anymore.

    Whatever it is, it is valuable. If nothing else for the lesson learned or simply the experience of having been there.
