Wow, a 1797 king george III copper penny. Hey, it was a great find even if it was in poor shape. I have only found one and it was about 31 years ago and the date was completely gone. It's great you hunt with your son. My sons never got into it very much. My son in Florida bought an Ace 250 and has only used it a couple of times in his yard. He lives just a few miles from the beach. I hope he gets interested in it again. It really does help reduce stress, unless you get in an area with 1 million pull tabs in it, lol. Also, sometimes you do find something great. Great hobby. Thanks for the post and I hope you have many more great hunts with your son.

I like to help newbies -- we all were "newbies" once upon a time ,never forget that--- and be sure to pass on your knowledge rather than just having your knowledge "pass on" with you.
