I love watching others digging videos but filming as I'm digging ain't really my thing so a video from me is rare. Today was an exception. A twenty minute dig scored a copper and a Merc.

I have dug a couple old coins including a Liberty cap and a 1797 draped bust not 5' from this location so I decided when I got a 12-41 at 8" that I'd film. I'm not sure how I missed the signal before. Well, here goes -

Well it's a KG3, 1777. Thought I may get lucky with a state copper but alas no luck. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1455063574.564561.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1455063590.505958.jpg


Enjoy
Steve

You have to have a bit of resolve to be able to wait till you get the camera going to do a live dig. I usually have to hurry and dig before Chris runs over and takes my signal:laughing7:

Great post I love videos but I don't have patience to do videos. Plus my finds are few and far between for silver or old coins. Great Job

Well done Steve. It is difficult to make a clip, it seams like a waste of time when you are out there but when u get back you regret it. [emoji106]
