Nice unexpected old coin

[Bob207]

When I got up this morning I had gold prospecting on my mind. Loaded up the truck with buckets,sluice, etc... At the last minute I decided to grab the AT Pro. When I got to the stream I wanted to sluice in I found it flooded and moving wicked fast. Couldn't get anywhere near the spot I wanted to get to. Was kinda bummed out but guess what....the AT is in the back seat and there is a park close by. I got some clad, lots of tabs and can slaw and headed back to the truck. I was literally 2 feet from the sidewalk when I got a deep, faint high tone. Depth meter was maxed out at 10+ and vdi stayed blank. I said screw it I'll dig one more piece of trash and go home. At about 10-11 inches this is what came out of the hole...



Came home and just gave it a dry tooth brushing, gave it a dose of nose grease across the date and here it is.



Was a great day!

Nice recovery on old copper coin! Always dig the iffy signals on the AT Pro and Gold, most times you will be pleasantly pleased with the results.

I didnt plan on detecting today and certainly didnt expect to get a lc from a hammered city park. Thanks all....made my day!

I'm stuck in this wicked slump of no really "good" finds and this is my best find this year.
