ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU SAY HHHHMMMMMMMM

[deepbeep]

I only had an hour or so to get out and hunt after work tonight, so I went to a place close to home. It is along a river bank. I had no idea what to expect here, or any particular reason to think I would find anything at all. I just thought I would give it a try.

About 3 minutes after turning on the detector, about 10 feet from the car, I found this:


I couldn't figure out what it was at first. This area is very historic, so my imagination went wild thinking what it could be. When I got home, I magnified it and could identify it. It is an 1867-1967 Queen Alizabeth II "Rock Dove" canadian penny. Dang.....thought is was something really rare, but it is still one of those finds that make you think. Who was it that brought that penny clear from Canada and lost it on the banks of the Tuscarawas river in Bolivar Ohio? I have never seen a Canadian penny with a dove on the reverse before.
Thanks for lookin'

WTG Deepbeep. Your identifying it was my only clue and I have seen quite a few of those Canadian cents. Have your thoughts ever strayed toward detecting Zoar or Schoenbrun ? Might find some old German coins then... but would be hard to detect in the county jail... HH.

Ed......
I live 1/4 mile from Fort Lawrence, the only revolutionary war fort in Ohio, 2 miles from Zoar, and I work 1/2 mile from Schoenbrun. I have to say the thought has crossed my mind! lol.....

I actually did detect at Fort Lawrence while helping the Ohio historical society with an archiological dig. It was hard to watch those musket balls go into their collection!

I have been working on permission on some privately owned ajoining property to the fort though, now just a hay field.

The area sure has potential for sure!
