- Metal Detecting
I recently passed the 2,000 coin mark since I seriously started taking up detecting about seven years ago. But I don’t really get to hunt many old sites, so I’ve only dug a few Washington silvers, Eisenhower Silvers, and wheats.
But I found a park near my house that is seldom visited, that I was able to find from old county maps appears to have had an old plantation house near it. My first time out there, I found a Civil War minie ball. I’ve been going back there a lot, finding some cool old things from various trash piles, a bunch of clad, and one silver dime.
Today, I was using my Garrett AT Pro with the sniper coil, and I was almost done for the day because it was really hot and muggy, but I went to a little area that I hadn’t been to before, and it started to hit a 94 to 96.
I thought it was some sort of iron bleeding over, but then I turned on iron audio and didn’t hear any at all, so I thought. “what the heck? I’ll dig it.“ And here it is! Not only my oldest coin, but my first silver dollar!!! Needless to say, I’m still over the moon about it.
Keeps you coming back, right?!
