Just got back a bit ago before I go to work but took advantage and got out for some hunting this morning.

Working an area I've gone over in the past that has produced. The equinox is doing well at sniffing out any remaining targets.

Day started off well with a 47 rosie first plug of the day. I knew it was going to be a good day. Hunted another 3 hrs picking up indians wheats etc.

Was the tail end of the hunt and decided to poke into another area. Got a choppy 18 19 and thought my be an Indian or a wheat. Popped the plug spotted a small silver off to the side.

And there it was a sharp 1829 bust 5 cent coin. Made my day to recover it.

With everything as crazy as it is right now I'm glad I can still detect.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yeah super rare to dig silver pre 1850 in Allegheny co.

Washington or surrounding co much easier. West Moreland is super old to.

Didn't expect it. Seated coins are hard enough to come by bust coins don't come often.

It's the third one I have found in Allegheny co in 26 yrs of hard hunting.

I don't get to excited hunting anymore but this one had me pack up the hunt for the day.

Be back out a lot with this Virus going on right now.
