So after work my cousin and i decided to go detecting. He lives near an older area of Guilford CT. On the way to where he lives i tried to think of a spot i haven't detected new virgin ground. So i drive by this school it's not very old but again the area is old so who knows. We meet up and head down to the school. My first signal was a dime so luckly i took along my long handle digger because the ground was extremely hard to dig. I dig it up clad! I must have dug $3 in clad then i get a quarter signal it says 4" down funny thing is most of the clad i dug was about 3-4" down so im thinking this is going to be a clad day. I cut the plug and dig out a small pile of rocks. I grab my new Nokta pin pointer, it's out of the hole i move some of the dirt away and shining back at me is a 1941 S silver Washington Quarter! I call my cousin over he's shocked. Then about 20 min later i dig up at first looks like one of those gas station presidential coins. On the front is President Harrison. Jokingly i call my cousin over and say hey i got a real old coin with andrew jackson on it. At first it looked like Jackson. On closer inspection i turn it over and see the statue of liberty and $1 it's real i never knew they made a $1 Harrison coin! Over all preety good day!
