Not Colonial finds, but still an awesome day !!!

[Brian in MA]

I decided to took a break from Colonial-era hunting today. So, I traded the farm fields for one of my favorite coin-shooting spots. Boy, am I glad I did. I got 10 coins all dated pre-1900. They include 4 seated dimes, an 1872 Canadian quarter, 2 Indian Heads, a 2-cent piece, a Shield nickel and a V-nickel. The icing on the cake was a beautiful gold cross. Also got a nice buckle.

Oh yeah, I'm loving my new 11" Pro coil !!!! This spot produced a whole bunch of Seated coins back in the '80s. But, it has really been slow the last several years. But, not today. I'd like to think the coil had something to do with that.

Not pictured is the pocket full of shotgun shells, pulltabs, and other junk. As good as the day was I really had to work for it all. Lots of digging in the almost 7 hours I was there...

Here is a pic. The cross is engraved with a flower pattern. The picture doesn't do it justice.



Thanks for looking,

The coil, freeze/thaw cycles, and other environmental factors made the coins appear!

Congrats! That's a great day of detecting!

This is for sure!

So did the 11 inch coil make a difference on depth? Did you dig deeper targets than normal ..just wondering

Some of the targets were deeper than the norm for this spot. I think the coil's ability to separate the targets really helped me. There is a lot of trash and iron at this spot. The beeps just seem to 'jump' out more with this coil than with the stock coil.

Nice shoe buckle Brian. Is the cross plated or solid?

The cross is not marked. But, it is most definitely solid gold. I wish I could take a better picture of it. It is really nice looking and I'm sure it's quite old as this spot did not see any activity after the late 1890's.

Thanks for all the replies and I look forward to getting back there soon !!!

[dwayne sueno]

congrats! would like to see a more "intimate" photo of those seated ladies...
i love the pro coil, too. deep, and the separation is comparable to much smaller coils even in the deep iron.

Great finds!!!!!!!!!

One thing about Mass, and the areas around it - there is lots of history there, and lots of great things to find.
