Wow, how cool is that, how did it ring? Were there other targets in the area. I have been doing fields too, and have found some old stuff, just not any old coins like that. I believe I could be in an area where that would be possible.

Congrats for you, I'm happy for you and jealous too, ha lol.

Hi Treble
Thanks, It was loud and clear 12/43 12/44 on the CTX. As soon as I found the coin I started detecting in a spiraling out method from coin drop ground zero. Unfortunately I think it was just a random drop while plowing or something since it was pretty quite in the sixty or so feet around it. However, not too much farther off I found some some brass rings so I am definitely going to have to check this area again.
