Three-Cent Piece (Pic Added)

[Colonial Zoyboy]

Hey, my fellow treasure hunters, I am posting to show my dominance over doyboy. Blitz and I decided to hit the defunct amusement park that has produced an 1891-0 Morgan and a handful of old coins. I researched this park last winter and it ended in 1915, so I had hopes of finding some older silver.

Well, the day began with Blitz finding a Shield nickel. After about 2 hours, I had nothing to show for, so we decided to hit an area that produced a Barber dime and a few Injuns during the summer. After recovering three Indian Heads, I started to crawl underneath fallen trees, while the entire time I was slowly swinging in hopes of getting signals. Then, all of a sudden, I got a reading that was jumping up and down on the meter, but was solid enough to dig. After digging down 3 inches, out popped what I never expected: an 1852 three-cent silver piece.

So, doy, it looks like your two-cent piece isn't good enough to win the competition today. Better luck next time, doy doy.

I will have a pic by Tuesday.

That's the way to keep the competition alive and kicking, Zoy!

Sure would like to see some pictures of that coin. Can't you row across the Susquehanna and borrow Doy's camera or something? :P

Re: Three-Cent Piece

We're identical twins, but the pic that I posted of zoyster was from his Junior year in high school, and it doesn't show quite a resemblance.

Mona, you should have seen us "one-upping" each other. Zoy and Blitz walked in the house and it all started; Blitz handed me his Shield nickel, and I handed him my two-cent piece (hehehe - I won). Then, zoyboy proceeded to hand me his three-center (he won hehehe). THEN, Paco handed zoyboy his Colonial coin (Now Paco won for the day hehehehe). We were all "upping" each other without realizing it. You should have seen zoy "spazzing" out about his find. We all have a passion for this hobby like no other!!!!
