Had a faint hit about 30' from where I found a KG2 yesterday. I've been digging everything. This target was weak and choppy and I honestly thought I was digging a nail. But it was deep and I wanted something OLD, nail or else! It was under some FAT roots about 8" down, pay dirt at this site! Out popped a thin disk that I thought was a two cent piece worn razor thin...
I wiped it...
What the heck is that?! I texted Vino and Ahab for support. Turned out to be a East India Company trade "penny"...1790! Thanks fellas!
It's 20.5mm in diameter and just over 3 grams. I was stoked...
Started hunting again and 10 minutes later found a nail....wait, that couldn't have been...rescan...
1892 Barber dime!
Then about 5 feet away a low tone that pounded through the soil. A buff!
A good day.
