On the news this morning they said the last Lincolns minted will be a special very limited "Omega" version, and expected to be worth $2 to $5 million to collectors. That's a lot for a stinkin zincon.

Well, you can borrow mine for half of the gold.

I've been hitting this site for 15 years and it is the first silver it has produced. It's given up plenty of US and British coppers, buttons and homestead relics but not a single silver until today. Jeff

Agreed on the Half Cents Dan. I only have one. But that makes sense as you have found about 6 times more coppers than I have. Using that factor of 6 logic, I am guessing you have dug 5,000 to 6,000 buttons over the years?

You are the King of Copper Dan. Your pile of Fugios is epic. How about Half Cents? Do you have many of those? I've sometimes notched out those 99s when hunting in 53 kHz range. I get tired of the granite giving me that soft high squeak. The higher frequencies definitely push up the VDIs on the...

I have a 2 kopek and have only seen a few posted over the years. Not a common find.

That one is a beauty !

Good work there Rebel. Those kopeks do have some meat to them!

Great hunt Dan. I had better start digging those 99s. :) The D1 was a button killer and the D2 is finding the ones the D1 missed. I used to use the XY screen but got away from it for some reason. I can't remember why to be honest.;)1000 coppers is hard to fathom Dan, it truly is. How many 10+...

Nice! That Hibernia is in great shape!

Thanks Gents. I'd be interested in your review of the HF coil Dan once you put it through its paces. I haven't quite figured out how to take advantage of the higher frequencies when hunting in the iron. The shape of the coil itself has put a few finds in my pouch though.

Finally getting some nice weather. By "nice" I mean not hot. By "hot", I mean anything above 70 degrees.;) I got a jumpy signal when swinging near rock in front of a stone wall. First thing that came out of the hole was a nail, then out came 3 Indian Heads. It was easy to picture a hunter...

Great find Rebel! It's hard enough to find a William III halfpenny, never mind a half crown !

DROOL !!!! Awesome finds! That eagle button looks familiar.

Bucknut, I found the same button design a few years back. The consensus was it is likely a diplomatic button. https://www.americandetectorist.com/forum/threads/tiny-eagle-button-id-needed.23549/
