I returned to a location where I had found my oldest coin as noted on my signature, but this time with the Nox.
In much of the same general area I was finding many deep clad dimes, in fact, it ties my previous record from last week with 56 again.
I found a couple of SBA dollar coins to add to the variety. And a couple of twisted-up monogrammed silver plated spoons and metal/medallion which I still need to research.
The main catch-of-the-day was a very toasted 1796 large cent. It was about 6" down and VDI in about the zinc cent range. It was bent and I tried to straighten it up a bit in a vice with two blocks of wood. It is too far gone to clean it up much more. I can just read the date with a magnifying glass, but still semi-visible on the attached photos.
Overall, a good day.
Thanks again for reading my latest post!
