Had to get out today after a stressful week.... Called my buddy and we decided hit the old dump site again. First hit about 15 min into the hunt after kicking a tumble weed came out a high tone but low VDI at 63 with the AT Gold. I was a lil confused that the numbers didn't match the tone. I'm glad i dug it up cause it turned out to be a silver buckle with a "J" inscribed. Continued the hunt and found another eagle button. Never fails that we find one or two. My buddy had better luck and found a US collar pin and a post 1923 lapel infantry pin. He also found silver with a seahorse earring. It started to get late so i decided to keep the coil to the ground on my way back to the truck and then i got a chopping signal with a VDI of 78-84 about 2" down. I started digging immediately notice a well detailed face on a coin. A closer look revealed it was a penny to my surprise. Then i looked at the date, 1996 D. Wow, I felt the excitement leave my body. But something else caught my eye, this coin was larger than your average penny, closer to a nickel size, not only that but the picture of Lincoln was larger and pretty detailed. Can anyone tell me if an error coin like this is worth anything? Thank you, Texas Yankee Wired Penny
