My first find 2 years ago was that coin! 1889 Vic 3p

Too funny but I had gone for a walk a few days before going out on my first hunt with a borrowed MD and the buddy who owned it. He had bught a new machine and had 2.

I had seen this old house site and in one corner there where bits of glass, nails and rubber straps sticking out of the ground. Upon returning to that spot I immediately had a hit in the silver range and now had to figure out pin pointing. It took me a few minutes to recover the coin. It was only 2" deep. (I have seen one of these listed for $60 at one online coin store.)

The second coin found on that site a day later was a Canadian 1859 large penny, a coin with a lot of history from which I derive my board name.
