I am still shaking from digging this coin..You guys will not believe this one. My 1yr old lays down for his 2 hr nap around 10 or so. I decided to go out into the backyard and do some MD'ing...I have hunted my yard with the Ace 250 for awhile. Also with the Fisher f75 in DE mode. That is the factory settings. Well I decided today to set the F75 in JE mode which is High Gain Jewelry mode. Well I wasn't out there for 10 minutes when I got this deep barely legible signal. Right next to a previous Ace 250 hole. I dug down about 8 inches and there sat this dull looking silver disk. I haven't seen many silver coins before so I was like what was this...I look down and see 1854 and I about wet my pants...I yelled out YEE HAWWW...oh yeah... I ran inside and run some water over the coin and found that it was a Seated Liberty quarter...I freaked.. It is in such good shape to be 154 years old..OMG...That is old. I hope you guys enjoyed the story and the pictures...Also my house sits atop our citys old Fairgrounds so hopefully the Metal Detecting gods will let me find some more old stuff back there...Enjoy..
