I’ve been a long time Etrac user. I was able to get an Equinox 600 a few weeks ago and I think I’m starting to get comfortable with it. I went to a new permission a couple of weeks ago and was able to find a few goodies that I put in my last post.
We didn’t cover all the ground and the Indian kept me interested. So we went back this morning and I found my first pre civil war coin. My oldest had previously been an 1873 Indian head penny. We were only there maybe 15 minutes and I had already pulled a wheat penny. I got a bouncing 36-38 on the equinox. I dug a plug and it was still in the bottom of the hole. I pulled some
More dirt out and saw the rim. Thought i had found a token. Started cleaning it off and my jaw dropped.
I live in West Georgia. The areas are certainly old enough for these type of coins but the population was sparse and very poor. Honestly never thought I’d find a large cent hunting around here.
The rest of the haul wasn’t too bad either.
I think the Shirley Temple charm from the previous trip was on the chain as I found it right by the old plug. The square piece is a printing plate from roughly turn of century. For Atlanta Buggy Company. My son found a whole one on the previous trip.
Overall great morning. My oldest son also found 5 wheats not pictured.
