Had about 30 minutes to hunt and that was pushing it. Got a 1942 Newfoundland dime. It was about 8 inches deep with a nail in the hole just above it. Well the nail came out first :grin:

Nice Silver, please send some warmth up our way in the NorthEast, I'm getting bored staying home and looking out the window all day..
Nice way to ring in the new year thumbsup01 I've seen a bunch of Canadian dimes, but never one from Newfoundland. That's a nice one. Found with a nail above it? How did that one read?? I'm still amazed that the E Trac can find so many coins next to or mixed with iron. For a 30 minute hunt, I'd say you did quite well. :yes:
It's cold down here too! 40 degrees today with the wind at 15-20 mph. That's like being in Antarctica here in middle Georgia :cheesysmile: Usins suthurnars ain't used to that kind a wethar!!!!! :grin:Quote:

I actually don't remember what it ID'ed at, it sounded good and didn't move when I pinpointed it like a rusty nail seems to do on several pinpoints a lot of the time so I dug it. I'm tickled! I also got a very rare elusive Chucky Cheese token at .5 inch during the hunt.........I might stop by and use that one, it's up the street about a mile.Quote:

Okay, now I'm getting antsy. lol That's a good looking piece. It's good to know others are still able to get out to detect. thumbsup01
That is a good thing to look at,as i'm reacy my temp is 10 degrees and the wind is whipping.
Jack i don't recall ever seeing a New Foundland dime either , thats pretty cool
that kind of weather would be a very welcomed heat wave right about now Jack :yes:Quote:

Good looking find Jack! Not bad for a 30 minute hunt. A good start to your year. Congrats!!
Really sweet Newfie dime JF thumbsup01 It's something I'd expect Les to find, but you... way down in GA? :huh:
I believe I have one of those from my visits to Newfoundland (in the Navy), but amazing to see one come out of the ground way down south. RickO
Nice dime- I didn't know Newfoundland had their own coinage so recently.
