Re: Never Seen One of These!
Howdy Fellas!
Yeppers, the one side is exactly what I see. The other side, however, ain't near so pretty and all.
When Pipster saw it, he was about beside himself. He wanted to know how I mistook that coin for
a quarter, and I told him I never looked at the VDI. Just got a decent signal and went down to get
it dug up (as is somewhat my habit, and why I often have trouble when somebody asks about a
VDI given up by any particular target.) It was plenty dirty and the size was right, so I figured it
musta been a quarter when I chucked it into my pocket. It got dark while we were out there,
and we were running headlamps, so I didn't get a good look at that thing.
Ah, but when laying out coins last night... something just didn't look kosher. Washed it up best
I could with water and soap. Didn't take my Dremel to it like I did with some of those nasty modern
coins I found on the beach in Galveston. Figure now that I know what it is, won't take a Dremel to it
ever.
I never saw one of these in person before, so I was thrown off track pretty good. What I thought
was just another quarter turned out pretty good. That particular courthouse yard also gave me a
wheat penny with unreadable date.
Blessings,

Howdy Pard!
Yeah, me too. And I didn't even know it until I got home to Colorado.
And once I got a good look at it, I still didn't know what it was.
How's that for ignorance? Guess ya learn something new every day.
Except for Tuesdays. Because I bowl on Wednesdays! LOL!

Howdy Robbie!
I made quite a few great finds in Texas. Come to think of it, I really do like Texas.
I don't particularly like Houston traffic, though. Learned that one real quick! But I surely did like Texas.
If I could spend a month in Texas, I figure I could do just as well or even much better than here in Colorado.
I got gold, I got silver, and even got an old coin too! Yeah, Texas was good to me. Especially all those great folks I met while on our trip there. Texas is alright in my book!

Re: Never Seen One of These!
I found my first 1 last year :yes:
Re: Never Seen One of These!
Yep that what I said it was my first find and it was with an IH of the same year, thats all it took I'm hooked for good now. My wife was with me she said what is it I told her I'm not sure but its cool and real old, after a minute I seen the 2 on the back and told her its a 2 cent piece and checked the hole to find another target that was the IH.
