Hello to All:

? ? ?I'm new to the forum and still fairly new to detecting (just over a year now). Just wanted to drop in and share one of my better fines. I want to post a few other things in hopes of getting help with identification or at least pointed in the right direction so I can identify them myself. I look forward to your responses and becoming a regular here at the forum.

Re: One of My better Finds: The Story

Well, there is not much to tell. I use a White's Classic III Detector, nothing to fancy. I was searching in my sister's property, a bluff that over looks the lake here in upstate New York. The area is supposed to have been a big tourist area in the 20's, so I thought it might be a good place to find some older coins. The area also had a great deal of activity during the War of 1812. I never could have guessed that I'd find anything this exciting. Previous to this find,? I had only recovered a few wheat's and some modern clad coinage on the property. I found this beauty in about 3" of soil in the middle of the driveway. people have been driving over it for years. In close proximity I also found some relics. A brass button believed to be off a War of 1812 military uniform and a razor / table knife believed to be from the same era. See Pics below. Thank you all for the kind welcome. I look forward to sharing and learning.

Welcome, psgen. That's a great coin. My only pre-1900 coin is a large cent, too. 1847. Our mid-priced White's detectors can find good coins, too!! ;)
