My finds are most modest but these are the first ones I have found using my TDI (first time using it). Thinking of taking it to DE next week, along with my AT Pro. Surprisingly, I found the TDI to be more intuitive to use than the AT Pro. Anyway, 4 pennies, totally messed up. Found in the strip of land between sidewalk and street. Also found a Corona beer cap and a large S hook. Pretty sure the stuff Fairfax Co. VA uses for ice/snow is pretty potent.

My bank told me to wrap them up and they will send them out. They give me a penny for a penny.

Congrats on finding some goodies! :occasion14:
Always love the look of toasted pennies. I got some really strange ones like you.
