Dug my oldest coin ever!!

[CladMaster]

I have hunted this old homesite for probably 50 hours without coming away with any coin period. I have found many cool relics and buttons, so I knew I was on an old site, but never a coin. I decided to concentrate on the southwest corner of the site where I hadn't spent much time in the past. I got a broken mediocre signal that I dismissed as another square nail. I swung from a different angle as I usually do on those signals and got a fairly sweet tone so I decided to dig. I dig about 4 inches and it was still in the hole so I went down to about 6 inches, grabbed a handful of dirt and she was in my hand. I rubbed a little dirt of and saw that little star. I immediately knew it was a TRIME! She's very worn. I can't see a date but i'll take it. If i hold it at an angle in the right light I can see the first numbers 1 8 and the fourth number is either a 3 or a 5. HH
