Well I went to my favorite park today and figured to try to see if I could pull out a few more silvers before the frost sets in and digging is done for a few month. I went to the part of the park were I found my oldest coin and proceeded to start finding a few od coins here and there. when I started to get a strong quarter to half dollar signal but it was mixed with some other signals, but I tried to separate the signals the best I could and started to dig. I pulled out a good sized plug and ran my pinpointer over it and it went off looking closer I pulled out a nail. giving the plug an other wave with the pinpointer and an other target was found it was a ring it looked very old and cracked it wasn't silver or gold but I put it in my pouch, and giving the clump an other wave of the pinpointer and I found another target. I see its round and dark colored but big thinking it may be a clad half dollar I start to wipe away some dirt and then I see it. It reads one cent and in my head I'm going nuts I never dreamed of finding a large cent as I've never found anything in that time frame there before and it been hunted often over the years. so I stopped rubbing it and put it safely away to look at later. I tried to go back to hunting to see if I could fine some more goodies but after about 10 minutes said who am I kidding I got to go and clean this thing up and see what I got. It was quite a rush for me I'm still feeling a bit excited about it and its been about 3 hours since I found it.
I was surprised at what good condition it was in. still has good detail. I only cleaned it with water and soft tooth brush and wiped with olive oil and dried. hope you guys and gals like it.
