1853 Three Cent Silver

[DurkaDigger]

I had never seen one and had to look it up. I went out in the snow a bit today. It is rare we get snow but after being inside for a few days I had to get out. I am glad I did . This thing hit under the normal penny range on my XP Deus at 12khz it was ringing a solid 75. At 18khz it was showing around 81. The coin was approximately 5-6 inches down. I am not sure if the snow was my good luck or my dog going. My dog Rusty was pawing the ground as I pin pointed it like he was saying... That's a good target! I think he was going to dig it if I didnt.....

about 2 inches under a big piece of metal,im still in cleaning mode at a 15 acre field,so after 1994 satellite imagery netted me nothing,im reduced to just marking hot spots,and clearing stuff up to a foot for now,the old yellow stop sign at 3 ft was an exception.lol
