I'm in the 1800's
This hobby is amazing. A total of about 20 hours of detecting in 4 months and I've yielded about 70.00 bucks in clad, three silver rings, four silver coins , some strange tokens (nothing spectacular) ,and the usual junk. Today I'm out trying for some gas money at a local school yard(very new) and i found a 1 euro coin. 5 minutes later, I get a dime signal with my prism 5 at about 3 inches and out pops a coin I could not read. When I got home and cleaned it , the date says 1864.Now i'm really stoked and was hoping it was American. It was a 2cent piece in fair condition. I was beside myself. I'm amazed at what you can find at almost any spot and I cannot wait for my next hunt. Coins that should not be there, the euro, and coins like 2 cent piece which was in a playground which was new just blows me away. What riches are out there waiting to be found? I have no pics because my daughter has not showed me how to down load them. But I will. my wife was more impressed with the euro.... go figure. Reading about everybodies finds are almost as much fun as finding them myself... so thanx for sharing all the things. By the way I,m still looking for someone to hunt with in south east ct... so please contact me.
