Had about 30 minutes to hunt and that was pushing it. Got a 1942 Newfoundland dime. It was about 8 inches deep with a nail in the hole just above it. Well the nail came out first :grin:

Nice Silver, please send some warmth up our way in the NorthEast, I'm getting bored staying home and looking out the window all day..
 
Nice way to ring in the new year thumbsup01 I've seen a bunch of Canadian dimes, but never one from Newfoundland. That's a nice one. Found with a nail above it? How did that one read?? I'm still amazed that the E Trac can find so many coins next to or mixed with iron. For a 30 minute hunt, I'd say you did quite well. :yes:

It's cold down here too! 40 degrees today with the wind at 15-20 mph. That's like being in Antarctica here in middle Georgia :cheesysmile: Usins suthurnars ain't used to that kind a wethar!!!!! :grin:

This place has a lot of old nails in the ground. I mean a lot of them. The rust halos are a big challenge. A middle 1800's hospital used to be on the grounds and is gone now but I'm hunting the area around it. I actually don't remember what it ID'ed at, it sounded good and didn't move when I pinpointed it like a rusty nail seems to do on several pinpoints a lot of the time so I dug it. I'm tickled! I also got a very rare elusive Chucky Cheese token at .5 inch during the hunt.........I might stop by and use that one, it's up the street about a mile.
 
Okay, now I'm getting antsy. lol That's a good looking piece. It's good to know others are still able to get out to detect. thumbsup01
 
Jack i don't recall ever seeing a New Foundland dime either , thats pretty cool

that kind of weather would be a very welcomed heat wave right about now Jack :yes:
you fellow American Detectorist guys down in the southern regions with your great finds and all year detecting are gonna get us through our winter and cabin fever we go through . Bless you all to. :yes: ;) :grin:
 
I believe I have one of those from my visits to Newfoundland (in the Navy), but amazing to see one come out of the ground way down south. RickO
