Got out on Saturday at a park for a 4 hour hunt before the arctic blast hits on Sunday. Temps were in the 30's, wind chill in the 20's. It's always amazing to me how people for centuries can walk over these coins without any knowledge of what they are stepping over.
Along with the usual clad, first real find of the day was an 1846 large cent at about 8 inches, next was a 1939 merc, a 1945 silver nickel, a 1941 s merc, 1943 merc, a no date buffalo nickel, a few wheats. By now my feet were getting cold, but one more deep signal should do it.
Walking back to the van, here it was. Dug 4 inches, Sunray probe said still deeper amidst iron. A few more inches, still deeper. My digger was up to the top of the handle. About 11 inches. Sunray probe said sweet silver tone. That's the great thing about the Sunray, it's an extension of your detector. Pulled this beauty from the bottom. A coin that evidently had been lost about 166 years ago.
