Found a 10 Yen coin today

[Vladio]

Just thought it was funny. I'm camping with the fam at a campground in central Pennsylvania. I'm not sure how old this place is but whomever's camped here has lost a lot of coins. Ill bet I'm getting 2 coins per square foot. It's keeping my two youngest happy. One runs the pinpointer, the other the digger.

Have a great weekend - enjoy summer!

I've found a few on the ground around town here. The foreigners bring them to college and try to pass them as quarters. There's worth about 2 bucks so if u live where there's a exchange bank u can exchange them.

It was an interesting find. I'm still getting skunked though. I've been MDing since February and haven't found any old coins other than pennies. I've found at least 15 from 1909 (not the rare one) to 1958. Last week me and the youngest (5 yr old) hunted a creek for the first time. 2 minutes in and we had a '38 wheatie. Not one silver piece though. When I found this 10 yen I though, for a minute, my luck changed. Oh well, I'm going to keep looking. Te odds favor me stumbling upon silver. Some day.

It'll come man no worries research some old spots & even the ones u go to now go to the more harder areas to hunt where brush is or even the pricker bushes, a lot of detectorist newer guys go for the easier spots & end up leaving those harder ones out, u never know till ya try

I'm going to post a video tomorrow of us detecting a place that is literally full of trash and still the AT Pro can snoop out the coins. I'm very impressed. The camping spot we're at has had the fire ring moved to just about every pace it could be over the years. Tons of melted aluminum all over throwing high readings of 65-90. There is so much change in the dirt that all three of my boys are digging. I think we've got close to $6 and its mostly pennies. Lol.

Ha ha, we searched only 3 sites and dug about 65 coins total. My kids were on cloud nine and didn't have a second to get distracted. There wasn't anything old but, wow, there sure was quantity. Lol. I did some quick research and it looks like the campground was built sometime in the 60's.
