Went camping this weekend and meet with Joe all three days to do some metal detecting. The first day I had a whooping 1/2 hour before Joe was due so I went to a site that we had hit before to kill that 1/2 hour and glad I did. In the first 15 mins. I got a deep hit that when I seen it in the whole I thought it was a nickel, then realized it was to green so I then was hoping it was a 2 cent piece. Got it out of the hole, gave it a good spit bath and seen it was a token, I was thinking a good token. Joe showed up and asked if I had any luck and I said yes, I think an old token. He looked at it (his eyes are alot better then mine) rubbed it a little, looks at me adn says it's a half cent, where did I get it. My first half cent, WooHoo!!! We then went to a road rip up and I fot a worn Barber dime, a rosy, 6 wheats and a nice 1893 Indian, a great day!!!
Day two Joe dragged me kicking and screaming with the Excaliber II for some water hunting. Less the a half hour into it I look at Joe, he says what you got? I nod my head, he says your kidding, I shake my head nope, are you serious? I nod my head yep. He said silver? i nod my nope and say it's what we are looking for. WooHoo, my fist gold ring water detecting.
The half cent looks kinda funky right now, it was soaking in olive oi before the picl, not sure how to clean it with out ruining itthinkingabout: Its a 1
7 i think.
