Man my wish came true, but not this way I was hoping on some LC this yr but this, come on. It all started with a long day with the kids and the wife doing this and that. Well after she left I took the boys down at a area that Ive forgoten was part of the park but is now is a open grass land and some huge trees and Hwy 30 runs through it. Back in the day this area was a rest area, city park, and gatherings. So I fired up the Ace 250 and headed out to the first tree I seen. Well after the 2nd swing got a hit on the screen saying 8+ half/dollar signal. Well after digging to China for it, I found a crushed old oil can so I pull it out and threw it next to the tree. As I did a coin fell out thats when I rechecked the hole and found more and the can a good looking over. Wish I had the can to take a pic with but my oldest boy threw it in the creek well at least I got the coins out. Later all and HH
Here's the dates on all of them

5- Big pennys 1862,1888,1915,1918,1921
4- 1/2 pennys 1911,1922,1928,1930
2-farthings 1865,1929

If I had coins fall out of every can I've dug, I'd pack up and move.
