I found a first for me in 15 years ! It was on my wish list !

[pl8man]

I'm still doing a dance after today's find ! I have been trying to hunt some old areas of San Jose while I have been off work the past month . Today I hunted a place that 8-10 years ago I found a Seated half & quarter dating from the 1850's ! I have only been back once and only found a few wheats . Today I put on my 12 inch coil and started digging any iffy silver targets . After about an hour or so I had a very iffy target . It was all over the place , +50 - +80 . This is the kind of target I had been digging all morning with out any luck . This time was different ! The target was at 8 inches and when I got down to it the VDI was at +86 ! I'm thinking silver quarter ! Well it was not silver . When I saw the coin in the hole I had no clue what it was till I picked it up and saw ONE CENT big on it ! My first ever large cent !!! It's a 1848 and in good condition I would say . I still can't believe it ! This is one from my wish list I thought I would never find . It's the happiest I have ever been to just dig a penny . I'll be working this place again with my new MXT PRO coming next week !

Glen, Congrats on striking one off the bucket list. It is a very nice large cent.

Great job pl8!
I don't know if I will ever find one as I do not get to very old places.
Love to see them though here in the posts.

Let me know how you like your new detector compared to your old after you used it a bit.

Way To Go! That Large Cent Took A Long Trip! Awesome!

 

[BuckleBoy]

That's a GREAT find for your area, and from the great condition, it was lost when it was still shiny.

Well done!

Cheers,


Buck
