Had a great time at the Diggin in New England event a couple days ago. Amazing how many detectorists showed up (I think a little over 130). Very well organized. Well I didn't find a lot, but I did manage to be lucky enough to put my coil over the right spot and pulled my oldest coin ever- a 1723 Woods Hibernia.This beats my previous oldest dated coin by 152 years. I was surprised at the condition of this coin- any other coins I ever pulled out of a farm field were corroded beyond recognition. Lady Luck was on my side I guess, as I was also quite lucky in the raffle drawings. My numbers were drawn 5 times in the first raffle. I picked a prize off the table 3 times and let a couple of the younger kids pick a prize the other 2 times. The look on Dave's face was priceless as I seemed to keep winning. Then came raffle round #2 with the bigger prizes- 2 detectors, 2 pinpointers and a gold coin were up for grabs. I thought I had no shot, since I had already won so much. But, as luck would have it, I was fortunate enough to win the 1852 $1.00 gold coin.What a day. Dave, when are doing this next? In all seriousness though, I'll have something to donate on the next event.
