Went out with Jeff of Pa today after not md for over a month because of archery season i had the itch to just get out and md. I got a iffy signal at about 4 1/2". I pulled the plug and seen what seemed like a little washer i picked it up and seen some designs on it i have not seen before or didn't register at the time. I took it over to Jeff and asked what is this he said 3 cent piece right away. I said cool... So I found an 1858 three cent piece and an 1880 Indian and 1.65 in clad. This is the best pic i could get of the Indian and 3 cent piece for right now. i didn't have good lighting for my digital camera so i had to use my printer. Sorry for the boring story.. thanks for looking Tex

You got that right. That's why it's one of my favorite places to go you never know whats going to come out of the ground.

Nice Trime!! I love those coins.. the first one I found was in a Civil War camp. I picked it up with my White's 6000 and once it was out of the hole I chased it all over the place.. it was in a clump and the 600 hardly picked it up.. They are cool!!

Got mine with a 6000-D in the early 80's I Think.
Don't remember the signal or depth.

For how small & Thin
they are, There should be Hundreds if not Thousands
of them Lost.
