Couple evenings ago I detected in a Bel Air park and found a silvered flat button. Went back this evening and first target was a '64D memorial, but the next was a flat button. After this I got a solid 81 to 85 VDI, small target and figured it had to be a quarter, so I'm digging the hole expecting to see a flash of silver, but saw a big green coin....a large cent. No date on this one, but very happy to have it instead of a quarter. Next two targets were a modern bullet and the another flat button. Great site; finally found a spot with older targets!

Sweet finds,, they may be a little toasted, but I think they may be a sign of things to come. You found a spot with a lot of promise.
Congratulations

Wow, too bad that poor cent is toasted. At least you can tell it is a cent coin. Hope some old not so toasted silver will be in better shape from there. Congrats on a good hunt.

No doubt this thing is a prize winner. Such a nice thick even crust.
