It just wasnt my trime...

It just wasn't my trime...

I went to my old spot for an hour and had quite a rush for about 20 seconds. Dug a nice deep, sharp, tone...12-28/29/30 on the CTX. Popped the plug and saw the thinnest silver coin.

Carefully ran it off...and WTF!

Noooooo! A Netherlands 10cent. And nickel!!


I enjoyed the rush, but wasn't too bummed. At 15mm it was only 1mm larger than a trime so I was fooled good!

Also snagged a Merc.

Have a good weekend and good luck

That's right where a trimene should read on the CTX.I'm surprised a small nickel coin would read so high.

I'm not sure what pure nickel would ring up as but it was a steady 12-28.

Neat "lil" find!

I like it! Reminds me of my first "fish scale". Tiny coins! Musta been listening close!

Can't say that rush wasn't worth it. Lol

It may not be a trime but still a cool find and the merc, I'd take a hunt like that.

Thx DS. I was stoked that I found a nice coin of that size. It sort of told me I am ready for a trime, should it ever pass under my coil.

Cheers

Cool coin, nice find.

 

[Loco-Digger]

Congrats on getting out and finding silver and the foreign coin. Can't win them all

Know that feeling dug a fish scale not to long ago and was kinda bummed it wasn't something else.. But on the bright side I've never found one before and it's a silver coin.. Good hunt you had for being rushed keep it up.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

But those were a sweet 20 seconds! Next Trime Scrappy, next Trime!
Merc is a real nice consolation prize! Congrats!

A 10 euro looks like a gold coin......don't ask how I know that. Lol!

Maybe next time will be a trime, good luck. Nice merc though. What year is the Netherlands coin?
