IH & Spanish Silver

Got off of work this morning and hit an old park..i'm always going off into the woods at these parks MDing..thats where i find the older stuff.. about 10 minutes into the hunt i switched over to "Rich in PA's Eagle Spectrum custom program. and got a solid hit Penny/Dime..at 5" down..i couldn't believe finding a 1796 Spanish coin (my oldest coin found)..wonder who dropped it almost 211 years ogo

...after that i spent about 2 hours digging pull-tabs and bottle caps along with .14 in clad. started going back to my Jeep and got another hit Screwcap/Zinc Penny at 5"...out came a 1902 Indian head penny, 4th one this month..it took me awhile finding it without a pinpointer...about a few feet away i found a 1919s wheat penny...that was down 7"...

-Rich in Pa...see the small pen spring? the Eagle picked it up loud & clear

WTG Robert, BTW that is a half real ( 1/2 real) which was from the Guatemala mint, and that is King Charles the 4th portrait on that coin. 8)

Keep going, more to be found by that super machine.......Rich

PS: Ya I know, the Eagle Spectrum is very sensitive to small targets.

Is that the program that was on another post not long ago. I saved it back but haven't used it yet. Great hunt, and congrats on that silver.
