My Oldest metal detector finder!

[SpencerK]

I don’t know how common it is to find 1800’s silver in the Los Angeles area but I managed to pull a 1852 3cent coin and a 1943 steel war penny off the same property. I almost didn’t know what I had found until I cleaned the coin off a bit.





I finally found one of my bucket list coins funny thing is I thought I would have to be somewhere on the east coast to find one of these 3c pieces.

I love it when homework pays off!

Beautiful Trime. Many times they come out of the ground corroded, or black. Lower silver content, I'm pretty sure.

Congrats on that 3 Cent piece. That is still one of the few coins left on my personal list.

Congrats on the 3 center.
The steel penny has me scratching my head. Hard to get one in that condition with no rust.

I have found exactly one steel wheat cent in all my years of detecting. The only reason I found it was because it was in a 2 coin spill that contained a 1940 mercury dime.

Not sure I've seen one of those found on the west coast, at least not in a long time. That is awesome!!
