Big Field from 1800's give Centennial coin
Hi Gang,
We found a big field to detect in and got permission to hunt then started hunting. It is from the 1800s and lots of people have been there in the past. I found a lot of clad but no old coins. I was dissappointed after three days of hunting the field.
Jeff found 25 Qs, 19 dimes, 2 nickles and a handfull of pennies yesterday.
But today I got a nice surprise--I found two nice old coins by this tree. Imagine, this coin came 100 years after we became a nation. And yes, I scratched it!!! Argh. Both coins we very shallow and I thought they were just clad. THe VDI was the same as curent quarter +84VDI. Jeff reminded me it has a mint mark ,too. "You, scratched a coin with a mint mark!" Jeff may have to walk home.
