Hit an old farm house and while out in front of the place I was finding alot of clad. I had jsut dug out a couple of clad dimes and pennies and re-scanned the hole and got another solid penny/dime signal off to the side of it, I re-dug expecting more of a clad pocket spill and was VERY pleasantly surprised when this rolled out..an 1856 Seated Half.... ;D It is drilled but it still made my day finding it.... :thumbsup:

Good thing you checked that hole again. I'd like to find a drilled coin or love token because it's a more personal item.
In fact I've been thinking about drilling out a few of my old finds (just kidding).

Whoo-ee!!

I thought, "How could they DO that?", but its life as a pendant is how that great coin kept all that detail.
