GTI 2500/12.5" Imaging Coil Opens Up 1927 Era.......
It was such a gorgeous day today. Temps got up to 15-C/59-F, so I headed out again to find some older kind of targets after work. My second junk size target ended up being a 1927 ALBERTA LICENCE Plate. It's in pretty good shape after hiding in the dark black dirt all those years. I hunted in the woods for a while, then headed out to an open area where I got the older pennies.
Here's what cars looked like in 1927, along with a popular woman's hairdo.
Here's the final best of the best. If that 1936 penny had a dot below the date in the center, I would be on easy street, as that is one our most rarest coins ever minted in Canada. The ring is kinda cool. It's home made, and I can't for the life of me figure out what it's made of. ie-non-magnetic, non-metal as there is no rust, very hard....after trying to polish it up, I got no copper or bronze color underneath. It was about 6 inches deep, in an area where pulling out coins late 1800's/early 1900's is not a surprise. Perhaps it was a home made wedding band made by a very poor person.
