Went hunting to the smaller flood plain park today for a couple hours. I set my Minelab Explorer XS up for ferrous targets, running Iron mask, 7 1/2 inch coil, everything else set for max. I went to an area of the park that is littered with deep rusty bottlecaps, some have the lead foil in them, I worked a very slow pattern, when all of a sudden.....blaaaah, blaaaah, blaaaah, BLING! A little teeny tiny good sound amongst the iron sounds ( gotta love this machine). I actually cut a horseshoe shaped plug, flipped it over, loosened up the dirt a little in the hole. Saw RUST everywhere, along with some foils. Took a handful of how you say on here, DOIT? Started sorting through 7 rusty caps, still nothing. Checked the hole with my trusty Sun Ray probe, yup, it was still in there. Loosened up some more Doit, pulled a couple more bottle caps out, then I saw her; A very dirty old lady hiding under some caps about 9 inches deep. The only cleaning I did was to rinse her off under running water. She is absolutely gorgeous :thumbsup:. The cleaned up pic shows the only blemish, which is her ring (of rust) where a cap was stuffed next to her backside..........NGE

Nice dig buddy. Finding those silver critters amongst iron makes it that much more satisfying. :thumbsup:
 
Beautiful! I agree with the other posters in here. One of the most, if not the most, beautiful coin minted. Great find!
