Called a fellow Treasure Hunting Club Member to see if he could sneak out for a few hours. Twenty minutes later and we were headed to one of his permissions. It's an old house that was built in the late 1800's.
This place has been hit a hundred times. I was told that 2 other club members have cleaned out the clothesline area. With nothing to lose, I decide I would try my luck.
Put the DEUS through it's paces and after about 15 minutes of circling the clothesline, I got a high pitched signal but a VDI report that did not indicate silver. Sank the predator into the moist soil and popped a nice sized plug. At six inches, my Garret Carrot said deeper. At about 8 inches I unearthed a copper disc laying next to an iron bolt. (Reason for the strange signal.) I thought I had a large cent but when I got home and cleaned it, I discover that it was actually an 1844 Canadian Half Cent, (Bank of Montreal)
