Your parents must have pulled some incredible coins from there 40 years ago. Care to share some of their better finds with us?
I wish there were something to tell, Joe. To my recollection, that Indian Head was the only coin they found there and they never hunted there again. That old detector was a BFO unit with no discrimination, and I suspect that my parents grew weary of digging pull tabs, bottle caps and nails. I can only guess that their interest in metal detecting quickly waned after finding a lot of junk and not many coins. It boggles the mind to think about all of the incredible coins that must have been in the ground at that site in 1969. If only they had possesed the equipment or the patience to find them.
