It is a beautiful spring-like day here today so I took my E-Trac to a nearby beanfield that I have detected several times before. This time I tried a different area of the field where I noticed there were a lot of rocks and bricks.
After a couple of hours I had only found a 1940 Wheat Cent and I was about to give up and go home when I got a screaming 12-47 signal. I dug down only a couple of inches and found a large round disc that I immediately thought must be a Large Cent! It is totally roached from the fertilizers but I can clearly see the date of 1828. Pretty cool, even if it's in terrible shape.
Not 5 minutes later I got another screaming 12-47 signal and found a silver quarter! It ended up being in very decent shape for a field find. Oddly enough, I have only found 2 silver coins in this field and both of them were SLQs!
Only my 10th Large Cent ever. I was shocked when I saw it in the dirt!
Very happy with this SLQ. I hadn't found a 1930 before.
I really like this enamel brooch. It looks art deco to me.
I have no idea what this is but it has hand-tooling on it.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
