Hey Diggers,
Today I got a pull tab signal at the base of an old tree in the woods. It rang up a 61 on my XP Deus. It was so shallow the pin pointer had no trouble finding it. I stuck my shovel in the dirt under the signal and pushed up and was shocked to see a hammered silver coin pop right out of the ground. It had been on edge and you could actually see the slot in the dirt where it had been. What's so funny is some other detectorist had been there before me and piled his iron up against the tree! I wonder if he even detected up next to the tree. The coin is a very nice looking 3 Kreuzer dated 1668 and features King Leopold (the hog mouth). The coin was minted at the Royal Mint in Bohemia.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting, Dave.
