Got out for a couple hours yesterday morning and hit a sidewalk tearout and one curb strip. I got a real iffy type signal but had a couple good numbers every now and then and dug a 1943 1 franc. Pretty cool coin to find in NE Texas. I'm not sure what it's made of but it's real light. I also found 3 wheats a 1930 D, 1945 D, and 1952 D plus clad, 2 quarters, 5 dimes, and 3 pennys.

That's for sure. I found a penny from Canada and another from Panama in our Municipal Park in South Texas.
