Well I got a signal today that said 5-6" and I plugged about 5". Could find nothing in hole - so I thought must be in plug. It was at about 3"
in the plug. I used my coin probe to find it in plug. And I was pretty tired at this point.
Thinking, well just another one of those rusted quarters I've was digging all day. Not being very careful with probe - it scratched coin. As soon as I felt it's weight and saw the image on coin - I knew it was not a quarter.
I rubbed off dirt and saw the unmistakable figure of a 1790's coin. Man was I happy! It is a 1796 Draped Bust Copper!!!!
