It finally rained here in Rhode Island last night, so I headed for the woods today. Slow day until I got a low 70's signal about five inches down. Pulled out three really crusty coins. Could see that one was an IHC, but the other two were mystery coins.
When I got home, I soaked them in warm hydrogen peroxide, which cleaned them up enough to ID. They're 1875, 1883 and 1893 IHC's! Not in the greatest shape, but at least I could get a date off of them. Not a bad day when you find three coins from the 1800's!
