silver and 1921 george v penny

[travelingjack1]

This is my first find posting in the forum. I just received my used minelab Excalibur 1000, and a new Excalibur II last week so I am still really getting used to them. I watched a ton of videos and read most the articles on these detectors in the forums before deciding on them. I thought the transition for running them would be fairly easy, from the research & studying I did. Please take note to the word "thought". Boy was i wrong! I was really bewildered and lost the first day out! The 2nd day out I went to a freshwater beach 2 hours away. I got there at 5am and I started out in the volleyball courts and didn't do very well until i hit a middle court. The sand there was smooth and i was hitting alot of clad. So I was feeling a little more confident. At 7am I headed to the water and I stayed there until 1200. I picked up a little more clad and my legs started getting tired and the beach was getting crowded. So I headed out. I know I dug about 7 pull tabs in the water and everytime I dug one I was certain it was gold! Maybe next time. The George V penny and the wheaty I found in my yard. The silver dime and tin or alum mini measuring cup I found in my moms yard. Just wanted to thank OldBeachNut and TreasureHunter for the help of getting started you guys are a wealth of knowledge. Appreciate the kindness!

Welcome to Tnet from the UK

Sorry to be a pedant, but the 1921 is a Penny. Pence is plural

PS. Just notice you got it right in the subject title, sorry

Hi Crusader,

THanks for the UK welcome Yeah I actually wrote it down wrong on the paper before i researched the coin, I thought it was a pence because it looked like one. Then I looked the coin up on the internet after I already took the picture I was suprised to find it in my yard i thought when i dug it up that it was a large cent and I was really excited Ah well, mabye next time.

It adds variety to the collection, not rare or expensive but gets the greg matter thinking about how it ended up there

Research them old sites, specially ones on ploughed farmland, thats got to be worth the effort
