Yesterday I packed up the DEUS and headed to the park that gave up a nice Skeleton Key the day before.
I picked a hill and started to grid it off. My very first target was an Indian Head Penny.
I didn't notice until I got home that it was a fatty. (1860)
I dug what I thought was a second IHP about an hour later. I was really surprised, (Cleaning it at home), to discover that it was actually a Flying Eagle Cent. (My Very FIRST)
During the hunt I focused on high numbers, (98), and sweet sounds, I dug out a bunch of deep targets with both of the old copper cents coming from a depth of about 8 inches, and registering 98 on the VDI. I found that unusual because the Fatty has a copper nickel composition.
Some other interesting finds were a 1941 Silver Washington Quarter, a copper bracelet, and an unusual Coin Meter Token. Definitely not for a New York City Parking Meter.
