I was out in the woods Jan. 4th, enjoying the fact that it was warm enough to be out at all, and detecting the area around a 1880s building site I found on New Year's Day.
I got an oddball signal, and couldn't decide if it was junk or not, so I dug it up and found an 1858 O seated liberty half dollar
It was about 4" deep. Must have been on edge to give a signal like that, I couldn't believe what I was holding and just sat there and stared at it for a while. Sure glad I didn't pass up the crazy signal.
I sure enjoy hunting at that farm, I offered the coin to the property owner in token of my appreciation, but he wouldn't take it.
Some my pics wouldn't load, bummer.
