Today at work I went out for a cigarette break (I DON'T SMOKE), I grabbed the MXT from my truck, closed the truck door, turned on detector and never took a step. I ground balanced and put the coil to work. Right away I got a quarter signal an inch down. I've detected here 15-20 times over the last year, only finding some clad and three wheats. I knew there should be some good coins, but couldn't find them. Today, I did. The quarter signal turned out to be a pocket spill. An old pocket spill. The first coin up was a LC, Braided Hair variety 
, too worn, no date ![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
.
Coin number two...a penny, 1869 IH
. My second IH, but first with a date.
Coin number three.... 1869 TWO CENT.
My first. Mintage 1.54 million.
Coin number four....A shield nickel, again no date. Another first.
All four from the same hole. No pictures yet, but will post them ASAP.
Scroll down for pics. Sorry about the size.

JK They might look a little better with smaller pictures. The soil in CT has not been nice to that copper. Like most of the older wheats I find around here, the acid in the soil eats them up. Did you find them near pine trees? I have not found anything that old, yet.
