I was visiting one of my permissions, I've previously dug a silver Roosevelt dime, a Mercury dime, an 1891 ihp, and a big men's silver ring. Today I tried canvassing the area where I found the ring. It's a strange property, I'm likely to find 6 inch pull tabs or modern pennies.
Well today in an area where I pulled probably 3 or 4 pull tabs, I hit a strong 6 inch 85 signal. Was expecting a big piece of aluminum or maybe a quarter. Out popped my oldest coin, and my first large cent. (1864 was my oldest). It's a matron head large cent. The date can't be read unfortunately, but 1816-1839...I'll take it.
Also pulled a silver cat charm, 3 Wheaties, and 6 modern pennies. Also a brass toothpick case (or something similar). Very excited about this site, anxious to get back there.
