This is my best find in my 2 years of metal detecting. 1825 sixpence, looks like it was dropped yesterday.rang up as a penny on the equinox, when i scanned the opened hole it screamed silver. what a thrill. also got 4 musket balls.

Great finds. Question: what do Canadian pennies ring up as on the Equinox? Low-Mid 20's?

Good luck beating that! I’d like to see pics in the dirt if you got one.

Question: did you wipe the dirt off in the field [emoji22]?
