    A beautiful autumn morning detecting, discovered a Large Cent and More

    I went back to where I have been detecting off and on for a couple of years. Unfortunately the area is not cut regularly like the other fields that surround it so it has been tough to be thorough. This morning I was out there bright and early and discovered a nice 1844 Large Cent, 1910 wheat, a crooked spoon, part of fork, and a whatzit it or two.
    I was able to record most of the recoveries with my camera glasses and I also recorded and uploaded a video in 4K from my Samsung Note 4 that is available on Youtube. The video quality is amazing, but you will need a high speed connection and a high resolution monitor or television that preferably has 4K capabilities to see how good it is.

    Cant see the youtube right now for the rest of the stuff but the largie looks nice. Wish I could find a place that would pop one of those out. (And even if I find the place I still gotta put the coil in the right spot to find where to dig).

    It's hard to believe that my phone can capture 4K. But it does... Hmm, now I need to convince the wife we need a 4K TV so I can really enjoy it...
