Went to a farm field for the first time on 10/28/08. My MXT with the 9.50 was finding a lot of iron and shotgun shell casings. Suddenly I got a VDI of a quarter. I dug and used my pinpointer to find the coin. There enclosed in a clump of earth was a nice green patina large coin. Thinking it might be a large cent I gave it a closer inspection. To my surprise I see it is a large cent but it looked different. Upon further inspection I discovered that I had an 1882 Canadian large cent. That sure made my day. The coin is in better shape than the photo's indicate.I will be back hunting that plot of land again.
