1860 Copper - Better Than Nothing!

Hunthicks · Jun 15, 2013

Was out for a drive with the fiance and one of her friends yesterday, and stopped at a little beach along a pretty rural section of road to take some pictures and all that. I took the detector out with me and within the first 3 minutes popped the 1860 Victoria One Penny out of the loose sand at the top of the beach. A few more minutes yielded one nasty looking IH cent and a buckle. I figure there's some more potential around!

Where there's some there's usually more, hang onto that spot for a back up, it could save the day when the hunt isn't going too great.

Yup, fairly large stretch of beach and I didn't cover much, so I'm sure there are some goodies left around.

Yup, I think I'm spoiled now. I still appreciate a coin of that age I haven't gotten before, but after a few great finds you just wanna top them!

Yup, we have a few ideas in that area now. Maybe one of us will find something cover worthy next time out, I think it's your turn haha.
