Smallest coin finds?

[cyberfish2]

Has anyone ever detected and dug a half dime, or $1 gold coin? What was your smallest find?
I bought a half dime to test my AT Pro. It didn't exactly light up the detector! My smallest find was probably a Mercury dime..
Um, not counting bb sized lead shot, or small fishing sinkers.

Air testing and in the ground will produce different results.
Certain makes hate air and even recoveries can be a challenge, tall grass with certain machines.
Low and slow is a good thing to sniff out the small.

While in NY, detecting with some friends I dug 2 small coins (similar in size). The 1st was an 1834 Capped Bust half dime and an 1848 French 1 Centime. Two years later, in Ohio, I dug a Lord's prayer token which is the same size as the other two. I only wish I could find my Henny Penny (toy coin) I believe it's a little smaller than these three.

I dug an 1847 Seated Liberty Half Dime with a Minelab Equinox 600 a couple years ago in bean stubble in Southern Illinois. My oldest coin. It was a little beat up and still repeated on the detector.
