I finally found a coin I have been trying to find for a long time. Had a rare chance to detect an old gold rush camp where they were cutting some new roadway through and got into some good period targets, including this Silver, 1852, 3 Cent Piece, always wanted to find one. Also got several other nice relics and a Chinese coin.

Congrats on a cool little, and tough coin to find in the dirt.

Looks like the remenants of a change purse ? too bad there wasn't a coin spill to go with that.

Coin-grats!

I'm still after one of those tiny buggers. Been 22 years of digging to the week, and still haven't dug one.

Thanks to all, I don't usually get too excited on finds but this one had me with both arms up in the air in a victory pose. We got this hunt on video and will post it soon. Hope you all get to find one soon. ;-)

I use the Minelab CTX3030 and I have seen 2 of these dug over the last year by my buddy Micah. I checked one of his and it hit at 12-20 on the CTX and mine was exactly the same at 12-20 but I was using the 6" coil and it was in heavy iron and a very tight little signal.
