Who needs a detector!

[Blacksheep]

Earlier this morning I was finishing up the sidewalk edging, as I was sweeping up the remnants I spied a penny. I do not as a habit, pick up pennies but for what ever reason, grabbed this one.

A 1900 Indian, not to shabby for not owning a detector eh?

(Appears I may have nicked it with the spade, hope it cleans up ok)

(Apologies for the pics, camera is rather old)

Nice IH, funny how it got there. About taking pictures, does the camera have a macro setting?

The training of staring at the ground was brought on through the use of your detector. Just carry one as a backup, just in case.

It does, I used the feature for these pics but this as clear as I could get, even using a mini-tripod. I
do appreciate all the comments, thanks!

(The lawn is "humping up" over and above the sidewalks, I edge every two years so it may have been lost near the the walk)

(Hope it wasn't a jinx , when I can afford a detector I had hoped to detect the yard, house was built in the early/mid 20`s. Who knows, could be a sign of good things to come!)

Forget the edging! Get yer shovel and start digging out squares. You can get rid of the hump and find some keepers all at the same time!

Way to go!

I pick up pennies as well. Any coins I find, whether while metal detecting or while walking the dog, go into a large mug. January 2nd of the New Year I take them all to the coinstar, and trade them in for hard cash. Each year I pick up anywhere between $50 and $150 in coin, and I do not do any park or schoolyard detecting.

Good eye on the 1900. I have skipped that year with all my finds.

Are you thinking about a detector? Not many on this forum without one I'm sure.

I considered buying one last year, can no longer afford it. Besides the economy, Wisconsin's
new detecting laws make it even less desirable. Hope having a detector is not requisite to being
a member here.

always a sweet find no matter how you did it.
